People from across the Andes celebrate Qoyllur Rit’i at the Ausangate Mountain glacier on May 29. The centuries-old festival—a mix of Catholicism and indigenous religious beliefs— celebrates the relationship between human beings and nature. Melted ice from the glacier is believed to hold healing powers. But these days, due to global warming, there’s a lot less ice to go around.
