  1. Why in the News? Today, we focus on the Hindu Kush Himalaya—a vital yet vulnerable mountain system often called the "Third Pole" of the Earth.

    Spanning eight countries, the Hindu Kush Himalaya is home to the largest reservoir of ice and snow outside the polar regions.

  2. I love wikipedia pages with embedded in-jokes. I found a mountain page where only failed ascents are listed, and only amusing failures are detailed. No mention of successful ascents, not even the first. And it's only funny if you know why. (No link because some humourless pedant might edit it.)
