The Hindu Kush and Himalayan (HKH) mountain range, which stretches from Afghanistan to Myanmar, is known as the "Third Pole" because it contains the largest area of permanent ice and snow outside of the North and South Poles.
This vast ice and snow mass is the source of ten of Asia's largest rivers and provides water to a massive population, making it a critical freshwater reservoir.
