WORLDS HIGHEST SKI SLOPE IN BOLIVIA SOON TO DISAPPEAR

A view of the world's highest ski slope, located on the flanks of Chacaltaya
in the Bolivian Andes at nearly 5,400 meters above sea level, just 15
kilometers from La Paz in this photo taken July 12, 2003. According to
scientists studying the receding glaciers in the Andean Cordillera, the ice
cap that attracts hundreds of tourists each year from all over the world to
ski on will disappear in less than five years, probably due to global
warming and as a consequence of the El Nino phenomenon. NO RIGHTS CLEARANCES OR PERMISSIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS IMAGE
