The four GIFs were created by Dr Frank Paul at the University of Zurich in Switzerland. He compiled the clips using 25 years' worth of images captured by the Landsat satellites. These images were combined and compressed to create the one-second looping GIF images and they reveal that many glaciers in the region are actually increasing in size, despite rising global temperatures. The Baltoro glacier is pictured bottom left, the Shaksgam is top left and the K2 peak in the Karajoram mountain range is pictured right.
