by Hongkai Gao, Delft University of Technology, Delft, Netherlands
This is a field photo on glacier surface in Tanggula Mountain, which is the head water of Yangtze River. The snow and glacier melt water erodes and melts the glacier surface. As a reslut of climate change, the ice river is eroded deeper and deeper, the glacier surface becomes more fractal.
