As is the trend these days, lets blame it all on global warming. Mid summer day is round the corner and the end of the polar day is just one month away. But the lakes in Schirmacher have not yet melted. Priyadarshani Lake is not even half melted and many lakes have melted only at the edges. The temperatures continue to hover around the zero mark. This is in sharp contrast to last year, when the temperature had reached +7ºC in November itself and there was an excessive ice melt. The lakes were completely melted and boating was in full swing. Though the lakes are sure to melt soon but it is too late in the day for that. Also missing are the beautiful ice formations and the rivulets that appear during the summers. The next 2 weeks are going to be warm. A lot of melting should happen now.
