NEPAL Near Namche Bazaar -- Dec 2005 -- The snowline at 4,300 scene usually clogged with snow in mid-December, as winters now come later and finish sooner. This is one of the more noticeable results of climate change in the high Himalayas and it affects the formation of glaciers which get reinforced by snowfall each winter, therefore furthering their melting in warmer seasons.
