20121229_B18A6198.jpg An avalanche on Machapuchare or Fishtail Peak in the Annapurna Himalaya, Nepal. It was caused by a massive block of glacial ice detaching from the summit cliffs of this 6993 metre tall peak on 29th December 2012. Such ice avalanches are more common in Spring and summer, as in winter, the ice is normally frozen and more stable. The avalanche descended around 12,000 feet, and covered trekkers on the valley path below in a dusting of snow.

366W9501.jpg For the Inuit residents of Shishmaref, a tiny island between Alaska and Siberia, climate change is a double whammy. Firstly sea ice that used to envelop the island around late September is now not forming until December. this leaves the island vulnerable to storms that have already washed many houses into the sea, leading to them being referred to as the worlds first refugees from global warming. Other houses have had to be moved back from the edge. Secondly the animals they rely on as part of their subsistance existance are becoming harder to find, as they migrate further north, away from the island. This shot shows a hunter returning from a hunting trip with a goose.
