Top Picture *Composite Picture - 1981 Halong Glacier, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. ©1981 – by courtesy of Professor Dr. Matthias Kuhle. Bottom Picture - 2005 Halong Glacier, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. A Greenpeace team visited the Halong Glaciers in the A’nyêmaqên Mountains, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, to document the retreating glaciers in the region. Greenpeace found during the past 30 years, the glaciers of the Yellow River source region have shrunk by 17%. This could leave the region without glaciers by the end of the century and is an alarming sign of climate impact on the source of China's mother river- the Yellow River.
