Princess Kate, Prince William visit melting glacier in Pakistan´s north
Bumburate: Prince William and his wife Kate flew near the Afghan border to visit a remote Hindu Kush glacier Wednesday, after a morning spent trying on feathered traditional caps and luxurious shawls in Pakistan´s mountainous north.
The British royals travelled by helicopter to a glacier in Broghil Valley National Park to see the effects of climate change in one of the most glaciated areas of the world.
Residents of the region have been sounding the alarm over its melting glaciers, which caused devastating floods in 2015 that left thousands of families camping in the open just as another cold winter approached.
The Duke of Cambridge called the glacial melt an "impending catastrophe" in a speech delivered at a glittering reception in Islamabad late Tuesday.
The couple met with environmental experts to discuss the melting before going on to spend their afternoon with the Kalash.
The verdant, plunging valleys of the northern Chitral district have long attracted tourists for their natural beauty and their brush with legend as the home of the Kalash, who claim ancestry from Alexander the Great.
