Scientists have found that the glaciers in one of Asia's biggest mountain ranges have expanded in the last few years, defying the general tendency towards shrinkage. They say a detailed survey of the glaciers in the Karakoram range shows a slight expansion while glaciers in the neighbouring Himalayas have become smaller. The researchers say it appears that by a quirk in the weather pattern, the Karakoram are receiving less heat and heavier snowfalls.

科学家发现，最近几年来，亚洲最大山脉上的冰川有扩大之势，这与通常缩小的趋势相反。他们说，详细的调查发现，喀啦昆仑山脉的冰川有轻微扩大之势，而临近的喜马拉雅山脉有变小之势。研究者说，这表明气候有些奇怪，喀啦昆仑山脉接受的热量较少，而降雪较多。
