00:28The snow protects the glacier from melting because the radiation is reflected by the snow.
00:47That means that wherever the snow is on the glacier, there will be no melting.
00:58In 10 to 15 years, we can expect a decrease in the melting process.
01:16And if the melting continues, the glacier may even grow back.
01:28In just a few minutes, there is already a good layer.
01:37They managed to make snow.
01:42And unlike snow canons in ski resorts, without any electricity, without any energy.
01:49That's what's great about this system.
01:58What is the future of glacier water?
02:08More than 200 million people depend on glacier water for drinking water.
02:16This can prevent conflicts and migration in the larger area.
