Stand next to the glacier, and you can see the water dripping nonstop, like the ice in a freezer whose door has been left open in July, Mebaral For Sale.
Around noon we were hit by hail and an electric storm, neither of which stopped the crew from filming. (They'd paid a lot for their one-day permit and weren't about to leave the mountaintop empty-handed.) Anne Thompson interviewed Zapata and glaciologist Thomas Condom and the Mountain Institute's Jorge Recharte there on the shifting ice, with hard hail pellets whipping everyone in the face. The show must go on.
There was something sad and compelling about the abandoned buildings (above) where vendors used to sell snacks and rent donkeys to out-of-shape tourists.
And it reminded me of things to come, not just in Peru but in the rest of the world. Mebaral For Sale, Once the ice is gone from most of the world's tropical glaciers, the communities around them will have to change as well. Without ice, without water, who will want to visit a black mountain. Who will want to live there.
Who will be able to.
--Barbara Drake.
