For centuries, communities in the Himalayas and Karakoram have grown their own glaciers, even 'marrying' male and female ice to create new reserves. These homemade glaciers serve as vital sources of water for drinking and irrigation, especially as climate change threatens traditional supplies. In Ladakh, farmers build horizontal and vertical ice structures, like 50-meter-high stupas, to store water through the dry season. Modern adaptations of these methods are spreading worldwide, helping people survive in some of Earth’s harshest environments.
