You know about North Pole and the South Pole, where polar bears and penguins live. Have you heard of a third pole? West and south of the Tibetan Plateau, a mountainous area holds more glaciers than any place in the world outside the Arctic and Antarctic poles. This region has a special significance for fiber artists: it is the home and habitat of the goats that produce much of the world's cashmere. And as at the North and South Poles, climate change is threatening the animals and people who call this region home. To bring attention to the threat to glaciers in the region, engineer Sonam Wangchuk climbed into the Himalayas of in Ladakh, India, and carried back a 7 kilogram chunk of glacier. It began a journey across two continents, wrapped in 3 kilograms of cashmere, and finally arrived at the United Nations in New York. The UN has named 2025 the International Year of Glaciers' Preservation (https://www.un-glaciers.org/en), and Wangchuk's Travelling Glacier brought the threat of climate change to the world's door. The cashmere covering the sample not only insulated the ice, it also demonstrates what's at risk when glaciers melt. The animals and people living in these regions depend on glaciers for water; when the glaciers melt too abruptly, the overflow of water sweeps away whole villages and cities in devastating floods. Stories of people and animals on other continents can seem remote, abstract, and hopeless, but joining in the movement to preserve this important resource can be as near as your fingertips. Long Thread Media is joining with Wild Fibers to sponsor the Cashmere on Ice Contest (https://cashmere.longthreadmedia.com/), which invites fiber artists to make a project containing cashmere. Projects can be wearable or decorative; a special category highlights fiber grown in the Ladakh region from which Wangchuk sourced his Travelling Glacier. In this episode, celebrated storyteller and wild fiber expert Linda Cortright shares details about why she cares passionately about this crisis and what fiber artists can do to help the cause. Learn about the contest (https://cashmere.longthreadmedia.com/) and find an FAQ (https://spinoffmagazine.com/a-fiber-contest-with-global-impact) for more details. Discover the Wild Fibers (https://www.wildfibersmagazine.com/cashmereonice) resource page. Hear about the effects of glacial melt in another high-elevation fiber-producing region: the Andes.

Today's episode starts off with something I might just turn into a regular segment: Trail TMZ. We dig into the controversy surrounding William Goodge's run across Australia and the data that has people wondering—from heart rate anomalies to 55 mph GPS spikes. Then we take a brief detour into the Camille Herron Wikipedia saga and my lingering sadness that she never came on the show.But the real highlight is a deep conversation with Aaron Fleisher, a fellow five-time Cocodona 250 finisher. We talk about his journey from stage racing and thru-hiking into the world of 200s, and how he found success (and beer) on trail. We get into hallucination stories, racing strategies, sleep theories, and the evolution of Cocodona over the past five years. Plus, Aaron breaks down his experience at Tour de Géants and what it's like to compete in a race that makes U.S. ultras look like casual jogs.We wrap up with some trail name lore (“Food Boobs,” and "Loophole") and ponder how Cocodona became the most community-embraced ultra in the U.S. Oh, and yes—there might be a bumper sticker involved that says "Cocodona sucks, tell your friends."Follow Aaron online: https://www.instagram.com/mittenmadness/Follow and shop at out sponsors: Janji.com, Garagegrowngear.com, and Csinstant.coffeeChapters00:00 – Trail TMZ: Goodge, Cockrell & the Controversy03:30 – Camille Herron, Wikipedia & Podcast Rejections06:00 – Introducing Aaron Fleisher & Cocodona Beginnings10:00 – Beer, Sandals & Surviving the Inaugural Year14:00 – Sleep, Strategy & Hallucinations at 200 Milers19:00 – Through-Hiking Mentality in Ultras23:00 – Tour des Géants: Europe's Wildest Ultra28:00 – Cultural Clash & Why Tour Felt Life-Changing32:00 – Cocodona's Future & Becoming a Community Race36:00 – Trail Names, Reflections & Last Person StandingSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutsideKeywordsCocodona 250, ultrarunning, trail running, 200 mile race, Jeff Garmire, Aaron Fleisher, Free Outside Podcast, thru hiking, Tour des Geants, Tour de Glaciers, ultramarathon, trail TMZ, William Gooch, running across Australia, watchmuling, heart rate zone, hallucinations ultrarunning, beer mile, food boobs, trail names, Aravaipa Running, Cocodona recap, trail race strategy, sleep in ultras, ultra running controversy, elite trail running, long distance running, through hiker mindset, adventure racing, Grand to Grand, 200 milers, ultra endurance, running gossip

The ‘bone collector' caterpillar covers itself with body partsIt's like something from a horror movie. A creeping, carnivorous creature that in a macabre attempt at disguise and protection, covers itself with the dismembered remains of dead insects. This super-rare caterpillar is one of the strangest insects in the world. It lives on spider webs inside of trees and rock crevices in a 15 square kilometre radius on the Hawaiian island of O'ahu. Daniel Rubinoff, from the University of Hawaii Insect Museum, found about 62 of these caterpillars over the past 20 years. Their research was published in the journal Science. If a dolphin pees in the water, does anybody know it?Researchers observing river dolphins in Brazil were first surprised to see the animals turning on their backs and urinating into the air, and then further amazed to see other dolphins sampling the falling stream. The Canadian and Brazilian team, led by Claryana Araújo-Wang from the CetAsia Research Group, believe this aerial urination may be a way to communicate dominance among males. The research was published in the journal Behavioural Processes.How the snowball Earth made life bloom on our planet700 million years ago our planet was frozen from pole to pole during a period known as snowball Earth. Glaciers at that time scoured deep into the continents below like a giant bulldozer, grinding the rock into fine sediments. In a new study in the journal Geology, scientists found that as the glaciers melted, a lot of that loose material was injected very rapidly into the oceans. Branden Murphy, from St. Francis Xavier University, said this chemical cocktail fertilized the oceans, and set the stage for rise of multicellular complex life on Earth. How a team of microbiologists use cars to sample air across the countryUnderstanding the distribution of bacteria that might be a concern for human or animal health across an entire country is a huge job. But a team from Laval used a very clever shortcut to gather their data. They collected car air filters from vehicles across the nation, and looked in them to see what they sucked up. They found regional differences in the antimicrobial resistance genes specific to the agricultural activities and environmental factors at each location. Paul George, from Laval University, was the lead researcher on the study published in the journal Environmental DNA.Albertan obsidian artifacts are the end point of a widespread Indigenous trade networkObsidian — volcanic glass used to make super-sharp tools — is found as artifacts from chips to blades to arrowheads at hundreds of sites across the Rockies of Alberta and B.C., dating back thousands of years. However, there are no volcanos in the area so archaeologists are using this volcanic glass to chart Indigenous trade routes through North America. New research, led by Timothy Allan of Ember Archeology, has traced the obsidian's point of origin to a site nearly 1,000 kilometres away, suggesting the material travelled over long distances and passed through many hands. The research was published in the Journal of Field Archaeology.Do his gills ring a bell? Fish can recognize humansScientists at a Mediterranean research station kept noticing that particular fish would follow them around whenever they would try and do experiments. To find out if the fish were actually capable of recognizing individual humans, a team from the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Germany decided to turn this annoying behaviour into a scientific experiment. They found that the fish were indeed capable of remembering which humans had shared tasty treats in the past. The research was published in the journal Biology Letters.

The reason many of us hear about glaciers has to do with sea level rise — which makes sense! If all of the glaciers on Earth melted, sea levels are predicted to increase by about 230 feet (70 meters), which would flood coastal areas, envelope a number of islands, and seriously impact human infrastructure, including our current water resources. But glaciers do more than safeguard Earth's future — buried within them is our ancient past. In January of this year, a team of scientists drilled nearly 2 miles down into an Antarctic glacier. The 1.7 mile long cylinder of ice they pulled up, called an ice core, holds the equivalent of 1.2 million years of climate history. In this episode of Tiny Matters, we talk about what glaciers mean to us today, their importance for the future of our planet, and what they tell us about Earth's ancient past.Send us your science facts, news, or other stories for a chance to be featured on an upcoming Tiny Show and Tell Us bonus episode.

In this newscast: Friday marked the first-ever World Day for Glaciers, a day observed by the United Nations to sound the alarm on the accelerating pace of global melting. Scientists who study Alaska glaciers spoke about their research to uncover how these rapidly changing systems affect our world; Sydney Isaacs-Hulstine is a Craig-based Lingìt and Haida artist. Raised in Klawock, Isaacs-Hulstine is an associate producer for children's TV show “Molly of Denali.” She recently wrote an episode for another show, “Work It Out Wombats.” It features an Alaska Native character that draws on Lingìt and Haida culture; The 76th annual Juneau Lions Club Gold Medal Basketball Tournament kicked off yesterday in Juneau. Throughout this week hundreds of people from across Southeast Alaska will attend to watch 50 games.
Peru is home to more than 2,000 glaciers. But like elsewhere in the world, they are melting faster and faster due to climate change. The country's glaciers have lost more than half of their surface area over the past 50 years and this change in the landscape is having catastrophic consequences for many residents of the Andes. The water they drink every day is being contaminated with heavy metals. FRANCE 24's Agathe Fourcade, Martin Chabal report, with Wassim Cornet.

À l'occasion de la toute première journée mondiale des glaciers, on part en expédition dans les Pyrénées, côté français, jusqu'au glacier d'Ossoue, un géant des glaces en passe de disparaître. À la frontière entre la France et l'Espagne, sur le massif du Vignemale, plus haut sommet des Pyrénées françaises, s'accroche tant bien que mal le glacier d'Ossoue, ce patriarche pyrénéen qui fait l'identité et la beauté de ces lieux d'altitude. Le glacier d'Ossoue, c'est donc le plus haut glacier des Pyrénées françaises, mais c'est aussi un géant malade, dont la langue de glace s'étage de 2 800 à 3 200 mètres d'altitude ; ce qui est peu par rapport aux sommets alpins, qui plus est, dans une Europe qui se réchauffe vite, trop vite.Là-haut, souvent loin des regards, la hausse des températures est encore plus forte qu'en contrebas : deux degrés environ et le paysage change radicalement, la glace laissant place à un vaste désert de pierres, d'éboulis et de moraines. Ainsi, depuis 1850, les glaciers pyrénéens ont perdu 90% de leur volume et le phénomène continue. Mais depuis 20 ans, ce phénomène est mesuré, ausculté, scruté par Pierre René, fondateur de l'association pyrénéenne de glaciologie « Moraine » et toute son équipe de bénévoles.Le 21 mars a lieu la toute première journée mondiale des glaciers, en cette année 2025, également consacrée «Année internationale de la préservation des glaciers» par les Nations unies. Cette initiative vise à sensibiliser le monde à l'importance cruciale de ces géants des glaces, placés aux premières loges du réchauffement climatique, et dont la protection dépend la survie de notre planète et de nos écosystèmes. Alors pour en parler, on a décidé de se mettre en mouvement et de partir en expédition jusqu'au glacier d'Ossoue, en bivouac au sommet, en compagnie de passionnés pyrénéistes, membres de l'association Moraine, afin de dresser le bilan de l'état du glacier… Un reportage de Sibylle d'Orgeval.

Glaciers aren't just big old chunks of ice; they're like icy time capsules hiding some seriously cool stuff. Scientists have found ancient artifacts like perfectly preserved bodies, tools, and even entire aircraft buried in glaciers. It's like stumbling upon a frozen treasure trove! And these finds aren't just from, like, a few decades ago; we're talking thousands of years back in time. Plus, glaciers can hold clues about Earth's history, like how the climate used to be way back when. So, next time you're hiking up a glacier, keep your eyes peeled—you never know what kind of ancient wonders might be lurking beneath the ice!

The 2025 World Water Day focuses on Glacier Preservation, highlighting the urgent need to protect the world's glaciers, which are melting at an alarming rate due to climate change. Glaciers serve as critical freshwater reserves, regulating water availability for millions of people and supporting ecosystems worldwide. They play critical role in sustaining water supplies and maintaining ecosystem stability. However, glaciers are melting faster than ever due to climate change, leading to unpredictable water cycles and extreme events such as floods, droughts, and sea-level rise. The rapid loss of glaciers also disrupts water cycles, increases natural disasters, and threatens water security globally Consequently, the 2025 observance emphasizes the urgent need for global action to manage meltwater sustainably, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, ensure long-term water security, reduce climate risks, and preserve natural ecosystems – aiming to protect communities and ecosystems dependent on these vital water resources. On this episode of #NESGRadio, we discussed the topic of World Water Day with Engineer Ekanem and Pedi Obani, PhD.
C'est avec une certaine gravité que les Nations unies ont décidé que l'année 2025 serait consacrée Année internationale de la préservation des glaciers et qu'aujourd'hui le 21 mars, journée mondiale de l'eau serait désormais LA journée mondiale des glaciers. Pourquoi cette gravité ? Tout simplement parce qu'ils disparaissent à une vitesse qui accélère chaque année. 274 531 : c'est le nombre exact de glaciers recensés sur tous les continents et aucun n'échappe au réchauffement climatique et aux pollutions. Partout ils craquent, se morcellent et fondent. Ceux des régions tropicales, et oui il y en a, sont les premiers touchés. Nous vous emmènerons au Pérou où la surface des 2 000 glaciers se réduit un peu plus chaque année avec plusieurs conséquences comme la pollution de l'eau aux métaux lourds. Nos invités sont tous des passionnés de ces espaces gelés qui peuvent vous sembler très éloignés alors que nous avons tous intérêt à les préserver !Avec Heidi Sevestre, glaciologue, membre international du Club des explorateurs, travaillant à l'AMAP, le programme de surveillance et d'évaluation de l'Arctique (en plateau)Jean-Baptiste Bosson, glaciologue et chercheur au Conservatoire d'espaces naturels de Haute-Savoie (Asters) par téléphoneAntoine Rabatel chercheur à l'Institut des Géosciences de l'Environnement de Grenoble.

Greetings from Iceland We are doing a special series of daily episodes that will capture highlights from our trip each day. We hope you enjoy this format and be sure to follow along with us over the next few episodes. Some links are affiliate links. See our disclosure. Day 3 Itinerary: Stay at Hótel Jökulsárlón - Glacier Lagoon Hotel - Enjoy breakfast and the sauna & hot tubs at the hotel before heading back to Reykjavik. Stop 1: Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon & Diamond Beach • Witness floating icebergs in the lagoon, sometimes with seals. • Walk along the black sand beach, where icebergs wash up from the lagoon. Stop 2: Fjaorarglhufur Canyon and Waterfall - this is more off the beaten path from the big tour groups Stop 3: Gas and snack in Vik Stop 4: Sky Lagoon in Reykjavik (book tickets ahead of time). We recommend doing the 7 step ritual and private changing rooms. We enjoyed going just before dark to see the lagoon in both the light and in the dark. It stays open late making it a perfect stop after a long driving day. Tips for the Day • Gas Up anytime you see a gas station, just in case. • Clothing: Layer up, bring waterproof gear, and wear sturdy waterproof shoes. • Batteries die quicker in cold weather so don't forget extra batteries for camera and phones.

The South Asian kingdom of Bhutan has become a champion of environmental protection. Its forests are protected by the constitution, environment classes are taught in school and its electricity is 100 percent hydroelectric. All of this has contributed to making Bhutan the first carbon-negative country in the world. However, that doesn't mean it's immune to the effects of climate change. Because of global warming, Bhutan's glaciers are melting and threatening to flood the villages down below. Our regional correspondents report.
Climate change is melting thousands of glaciers in the Himalayas and having a devastating impact on the people who live there. The BBC's Caroline Davies has just been to the Pakistani side of the world's highest mountain range: she tells Graihagh Jackson how villagers are coping, and how they are determined to stay put despite the risks of floods and the disruption to their traditional way of life.You can watch Caroline's reporting from Pakistan here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00246nx/from-above-melting-glaciersGot a climate question you'd like answered?

In January of 2019, journalist Elizabeth Rush joined 56 scientists and crew people aboard an ice-breaking research vessel to study the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica. The glacier, which is about the size of the state of Florida, has been nicknamed the “Doomsday Glacier” for the effect its disintegration would likely play in the rise of global sea levels. “If we lose Thwaites, there's great concern that we will lose the entirety or big portions of the West Antarctic ice sheet and that those glaciers combined contain enough ice to raise global sea levels 10 feet or more,” Rush told Dan Richards on this episode of Trending Globally. Rush recounts her voyage aboard the Palmer and how it reshaped her understanding of our changing climate and planet in her 2023 book, “The Quickening: Antarctica, Motherhood and Cultivating Hope in a Warming World.” However, as the title suggests, the book is also about another, more personal journey: Rush's decision to have a child. The resulting book is part adventure travelogue, part mediation on the meaning of motherhood, and part climate change manifesto. It also offers some much-needed wisdom on how to envision a future when it feels like the world is falling apart.
