Photo taken on Sept. 4, 2007 shows the snow-covered 6,740-meter-high Kagbo Peak, the highest peak of the Meili Snow Mountain, and a glacier below it, in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Yunnan Province. As one of China's leading tourist landmarks, the Meili Snow Mountain will be devoid of snow within 80 years if the global warming trends continue, meteorological scientists have warned, saying the glaciers in the Meili Snow Mountain have been shrinking quickly over the past 13 years.
