In a recent report, UNESCO highlighted 5 glaciers on earth being irreversibly affected by climate change, with drastic consequences for the local population. Our team will climb these glaciers bringing images of the problem, and contact local population to register the impact on daily living. (pt version at: http://icecare.blogs.sapo.pt/)

HPP medical technology supports Ice Care’s project.
After the first Ice Care expedition – Paris-Switzerland and Aletsch glacier – we are still recovering our physical shape, but already looking forward to the next trip scheduled: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, in Africa . Slowly, under the ‘chirurgical’ eye of HPP doctors, we are getting back to the trainings, to prepare for a very special expedition. The Kilimanjaro glacier with its ‘eternal snow’ was the reason that launched this project, in an attempt to make a wake up call of consciences for a phenomenon that won’t leave this planet as we know it. This next trip (planned for December) will also be special for the fact that we will open the possibility to a limited number of people, which are not part of the team, to join us on our training sessions, on the climbing itself or on the fieldwork with the local populations. More information soon available.
