In the far north of India, a cold mountain desert is the stunning backdrop to an unprecedented icy structure. This is a land of extremes, where rainfall is scarce and temperatures range wildly from torrid to far below freezing. The locals say it’s the only place in the world where a man, sitting in the sun with his feet in the shade, can suffer sunstroke and frostbite at the same time.

You were right, interesting share my friend.

That's really clever, although I'm not surprised to hear that the pipe tends to ice up.

That's really interesting. I wonder if it could be turned into a tourist attraction
