In the Himalayas, Pakistan, communities and their elders are practicing an ancient tradition of making “glacier babies”; turning water back to ice, using only natural methods.

Fascinating: a process of selecting types of ice to use to “grow” more ice from water. It can take 12 years to make a foundation and another 12 for it to cross a significant threshold to be considered independent (as best as I can understand).

They’ve even gotten funding from the U.N. for this, although only in the 100’s of €.

Note: Bubble allows regular gemtext links, just put a => in front of those URLs.
