The #desert in Viru, Peru, blooms. Blueberries grow to the size of Ping-Pong balls in nothing but sand. Asparagus fields cross dunes, disappearing over the horizon. The produce is packed and shipped to places like Denmark and Delaware. And electricity and water have come to villages that long had neither. It might sound like a perfect development plan, except for one catch: The reason so much water flows through this desert is that an #icecap high up in the mountains is melting away. Since the 1980s, accelerating glacial melt in the #Andes has enabled a gold rush downstream, contributing to the irrigation and cultivation of more than 100,000 acres of land. But the flow of water is already declining as the glacier vanishes, and scientists estimate that by 2050 much of the icecap will be gone. @tomas.munita took this photo of a 30-year-old picture on the path to the Pastoruri glacier in Áncash, which shows how far the ice has retreated. Swipe left to see more photos from #Peru, showing workers harvesting blueberries and asparagus.
