Polar ice caps are melting and sea levels are rising. In some regions - such as the mountains - extreme weather events and rainfall are becoming more frequent, while other areas are suffering from severe heat waves and droughts. It's raining on k2, it's pouring on Everest, streams of water are flowing over glaciers. Acid rain - caused by increasing atmospheric pollution - is dissolving the surrounding landscape, and extreme temperature spikes are accelerating its erosion. We look at the desolate peaks of the ancient prophets - this is our modern Genesis land. Something ends, something begins.
