Winter view of a horizontal glacier

Local people make vertical glaciers using the meltwater from already-existing glaciers high above their villages.The meltwater enters channels that run downhill,flowing until it reaches a crop site where it bursts forth from a pipe pointing straight into the air.When winter temperatures dip,this water freezes as it arcs out of the pipe,ultimately forming a 50 meter ice sculpture called a stupa,shaped like an upside-down ice cream cone.
