Continuing yesterday's post. Did you know that in various mythologies (Norse, Greek and others) ice is a symbol of death? But it gives us water to drink and becomes the source of life.

For example, in Norse mythology, the world begins from Audhumla, a cow born from frost. It seems to be a very good metaphor for a glacier. If someone has ever seen what water flows out from under a glacier, they have noticed that it is not transparent but cloudy gray, white. Like a cow's milk.
Can we say that this mythical cow feeds rivers, lakes, irrigates fields?

Glacial rivers play a life-giving role in many countries. The nations of Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh are largely dependent on these waters.

El hielo, símbolo de muerte en algunas mitologías, en realidad es fuente de vida al convertirse en agua. En la mitología nórdica, Audhumla, la vaca nacida del hielo, simboliza este ciclo. ¿Podemos verla como la proveedora de ríos y lagos? Los ríos glaciares son vitales para muchos países como Pakistán, India y Nepal.
