The MIT Museum’s exhibition “Rivers of Ice: Vanishing Glaciers of the Greater Himalaya” opened in April 2012 and will run through March 2013.
A public symposium, “What’s Your Question? – Rivers of Ice“, was held in conjunction with the Cambridge Science Festival and the opening of the exhibit, to share the stunning images of the Himalayan glaciers, and to bring together scientists and community members to debate questions about our climate, environment, water supply and more.
