In the Himalayas, Ladakhis build ‘ice stupas’ – artificial glaciers – to fight water scarcity and climate change.
In the remote Zanskar Valley of the Himalayas, life has always depended on spring meltwater from glaciers. But as climate change disrupts snowfall and ice, the Ladakhi people face growing water scarcity. “The Ice Builders” follows their remarkable response: constructing artificial glaciers – “ice stupas” – to store winter water and release it in spring. A story of resilience and a community determined to shape its own future in a warming world. For everyone inspired by ingenuity in the face of climate change.
