NORTH CASCADES FESTIVAL CELEBRATES COMMUNITY, HERITAGE The town of Concrete, Washi ngton, celebrated Cascade Days last month. This festival, held each year on the third weekend in August, was established in 1934 to promote the construction of a highway that would pass through the North Cascades, linking WATER ACCESS AND GLACIAL RECESSION IN PERU A new paper examines the transformation of glacierized hydro-social systems in Peru through the lens of biophysical and social processes. VIDEO OF THE WEEK ARCHIVES After many years in the making, a documentary was released in October 2017 about Plateau Perspectives, a Canadian non-profit organization founded by Marc Foggin that is dedicated to protecting the ecological integrity of the Tibetan Plateau and improving the well-being of local mountain communities.

ROBOTIC KAYAKS DISCOVER HIGH RATES OF UNDERWATER GLACIER MELT 14 April 2020, by Elza Bouhassira A recent study using autonomous kayaks found evidence that ambient submarine melting beneath the tongue of Alaska’s LeConte Glacier has been underestimated by a factor of up to 100. The finding opens the door for further research into a previously minimized factor in

glacier melt.

ROUNDUP: COVID-19 REPORTS FROM GLACIER REGIONS 13 April 2020, by Peter Deneen In this week’s Roundup, we check in on glacier regions battling the coronavirus: a five month-old girl in Pakistan beats the disease, unconventional ‘stay home’ order enforcement tactics in Nepal, aid provided by Indigenous communities in Ecuador, how an aprés-ski town in Italy fueled the spread in Europe, anecdotes from the Italian Alps, and a new food fund in Washington State. PHOTO FRIDAY: CORONAVIRUS SHUTDOWN BRINGS CLEAN AIR, CLEAR MOUNTAIN

VIEWS

10 April 2020, by Peter Deneen Stay home orders worldwide have slowed the thrum of human activity. Water is clearer, air is cleaner, and even seismic activity is more detectable. Some glacier communities are seeing their mountains through visibility not experienced in decades. PERUVIAN STUDY OPENS DOORS FOR GLACIAL RESEARCH 9 April 2020, by Zoe Klobus An article published in March studies the impact of glacier retreat on water quality in the Rio Santa watershed in Peru. This case study is important for communities dependent on this freshwater source and for researchers in glacierized regions. VIDEO OF THE WEEK: ICE FALL AT CHENEGA GLACIER 8 April 2020, by Peter Deneen In this week’s Video of the Week check out a dramatic ice fall at Alaska’s Chenega Glacier captured by Australian Geographic photographer Chris Bray, who was there last autumn to capture the

The two volcanoes pose imminent threats to the communities living in their shadows. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC COMPLICATES TOURISM IN THE EVEREST REGION 2 April 2020, by Audrey Ramming The effects of the coronavirus pandemic are limitless, reaching even the most remote corners of the Earth, including the Everest region, where the virus is inflicting cascading impacts upon mountain tourism and local well-being. VIDEO OF THE WEEK: QUECHUA MUSICIANS URGE CORONAVIRUS PRECAUTION THROUGH TRADITIONAL SONG 1 April 2020, by Audrey Ramming This video is filmed in the Callejon de Huaylas, located at the foot of the Cordillera Blanca in the north central highlands of Peru, and features a song about coronavirus that is performed in the region’s native Quechua language. The song emphasizes instructions for people to wash their hands and not to ignore advice with “the ears of a
