Mountains around the world are heating up more quickly than surrounding lowlands, according to a comprehensive study, leading to shifts in snow, rain, and water supplies that affect over a billion people. The research highlights elevation-dependent climate change, with temperatures rising 0.21°C per century faster in mountain regions. These changes pose risks to ecosystems, water resources, and human safety in areas like the Himalayas.

This Karoo photo essay explores a mountain region that seems to have passed out of national memory: the Sneeuberg Ranges. It is the newly named Great Karoo Wilderness, in which some 200 Sneeuberg landowners have signed up to form the largest Protected Environment in South Africa. The area holds a deep history of habitation and conflict, its own botanical species, and vast, folded mountain landscapes for city dwellers seeking fresh air and rediscover forgotten trails.
