The exhibition features works by the mountaineer and filmmaker David Breashears, documenting the decline of the glaciers of the greater Himalaya.<br /><br />I found a photograph on your website that would fit nicely into a kiosk I'm designing for the exhibit. For the kiosk, I'm looking for maps or images of glacial melting across the globe.<br /><br />I am hoping that you can tell me the source for the picture of Kilimanjaro's melting snow so I can contact them for permission.<br /><br />Please let me know if you need any further information about the exhibition or about my work on it. We would really appreciate the help and I hope to hear back from you soon.AmberMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471284393157091667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180764321069319458.post-40843171098900913342009-12-11T01:32:38.655-05:002009-12-11T01:32:38.655-05:00I went to high school in the area where Mayiani gr...I went to high school in the area where Mayiani grew up. No words can express what is happening and yet to happen as the glacious of the great mountain disappear and its effect to the communities around the mountain.<br /><br />The Maasai call Mt Kilimanjaro, Oldoinyo Oibor, meaning the "White Mountain" because of the glaciers. What should we call it now? May be it is time to consider change of name to put the message across so that the world may hear and see that climate change is real. it is not a myth.<br /><br />John Kisimir.John Kisimirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14351380647934410091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180764321069319458.post-51985900987522216142009-12-09T14:13:41.131-05:002009-12-09T14:13:41.131-05:00I will send this story to my husband and ask him t...I will send this story to my husband and ask him to share it with his colleagues working in the climate change area.
