- Large number of glaciers are melting and are decreasing around the world.
- But the glaciers of central Karakoram in Himalaya have surprisingly remained unchanged or slightly increased in the last few decades.
- This phenomenon has been puzzling glaciologists and providing climate deniers with a very rare straw to clutch at.
- This is peculiar because the behaviour seems to be confined to a very small region.
- Kunlun ranges is being another example of showing similar trends in the whole of Himalaya.
- Recent studies revealed that western disturbance has been instrumental in triggering and sustaining the Karakoram Anomaly since the advent of the 21st century.
