Melting glacial ice is one of the clearest indicators of climate change, a complex issue. Nowhere is it more apparent than where you'd least expect to find ice - at the equator. There are now only 25 mountains with glaciers at the equator Within a quarter of a century these glaciers will be gone due to climate change - in some cases, far sooner. Put simply: 25 Mountains. Zero latitude. 25 years. Zero ice.
