Look for your beacons stuck in the ice, take out the tape measure and evaluate the thickness of the snow whether the sun is scorching or a freezing storm is falling. He has been doing it for almost 20 years and plans to continue until his last day of work arrives. This man is called Jorge Luis Ceballos and he is the only glaciologist in Colombia, a country that is home to some of the last tropical glaciers on the planet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elpais.com\/ciencia\/2022-12-21\/el-ultimo-guardian-de-los-glaciares-tropicales.html\" >Keep reading<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cloudfront-eu-central-1.images.arcpublishing.com\/prisa\/QPP7CEBSMZF33H75R27PG265X4.jpg\" width=\"6000\" height=\"4000\" alt=\"El glaciar Conejeras cubierto de nieve el pasado noviembre.\"><\/img><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cloudfront-eu-central-1.images.arcpublishing.com\/prisa\/KMMOYALZGVGCZBF66LKVJCWICU.jpg\" width=\"5940\" height=\"3784\" alt=\"El gu\u00eda de monta\u00f1a Janier D\u00edaz toma medidas del espesor de la nieve en el glaciar de Tolima a unos 5.000 metros de altitud.\"><\/img><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cloudfront-eu-central-1.images.arcpublishing.com\/prisa\/ITTIBVC2VZG5PMAAXHE4AGE52E.jpg\" width=\"6000\" height=\"4000\" alt=\"El glaci\u00f3logo Jorge Luis Ceballos, en una de las escuelas rurales con las que colabora ense\u00f1ando meteorolog\u00eda.\"><\/img><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jorge Luis Ceballos, Colombia&#039;s only glaciologist, will probably see his favorite glacier disappear before he retires, in just three years.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[123],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-60209","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-portal"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60209"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60209\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":60210,"href":"http:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60209\/revisions\/60210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
