Llanganuco lake, which is filled with glacial meltwater, is seen in Huascaran National

Llanganuco lake, which is filled with glacial meltwater, is seen in Huascaran National Park in Huaraz, September 18, 2013. The nearby Pastoruri glacier is one of the fastest receding glaciers in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range according to a 2012 paper by the University of Texas and the Huascaran National Park. Peru is home to 71% of the worlds tropical glaciers, which are a source of fresh water for millions, but 22% of the surface area of Peruvian glaciers has disappeared in the past 30 years alone, according to The World Bank.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking beauty of Llanganuco lake, nestled within Huascaran National Park in Huaraz. The serene lake is a mesmerizing sight, shimmering with glacial meltwater that reflects the surrounding majestic mountains. However, this picturesque scene also serves as a stark reminder of the environmental challenges faced by Peru. The nearby Pastoruri glacier, one of the Cordillera Blanca mountain range's fastest receding glaciers, highlights the alarming rate at which these natural wonders are disappearing. A 2012 study conducted by the University of Texas and Huascaran National Park revealed that Peru is home to an astounding 71% of tropical glaciers worldwide. These glaciers play a vital role as a freshwater source for millions. Unfortunately, over the past three decades alone, 22% of Peruvian glaciers' surface area has vanished according to The World Bank. This disheartening statistic underscores the urgent need for global action to combat climate change and protect these fragile ecosystems. Mariana Bazo's photograph not only showcases nature's splendor but also serves as a powerful visual representation of our planet's vulnerability. It prompts us to reflect on our responsibility towards preserving these invaluable resources for future generations. As we admire this stunning image captured in September 2013, let it serve as a call to action – reminding us all that protecting our environment is crucial for sustaining life on Earth.
