A view of the Huayna Potosi glacier in the Bolivian highlands, some 30 km (19 miles) from La Paz, November 7, 2009. From the Himalayas to the Andes, faster-melting glaciers spell long-term risks for hydroelectric power and drinking water. A lack of water for hydropower is already "critical" in Bolivia, Peru, Colombia and Ecuador, according to the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Over 2 million people in the La Paz region depend heavily on the glacier on Bolivia's Chacaltaya mountain and neighboring glaciers for tap water and, indirectly, for electricity supplies. Picture taken in November 7, 2009.
