Intro

Hi there, curious minds! I'm Crafty Clover! Let's discover something amazing. What mountain puzzles are left to solve?

The Big Idea

Mountains still hold mysteries that scientists have not solved yet. There are big puzzles waiting for curious people, in every range, from the Rockies to the Himalayas. Maybe you will help solve the next one, someday, as a scientist or an explorer!

Living Things

Puzzle one: how will mountain life adjust? How will high-mountain plants and animals, like pikas, cope as seasons change? Scientists study them to find out, using cameras, notebooks, and careful counting.

Snow and Ice

Puzzle two: how do snow and ice change? Scientists track how snowpack and glaciers change from year to year. That helps people plan for water, safety, and the plants and animals that live there.

Hidden Places

Puzzle three: what is hidden? What lies under glaciers and deep inside the rocks? Scientists keep finding new species on remote slopes, and new clues about how mountains work.

A Closer Look

Let's take a closer look at mountain puzzles! How will pikas adjust to warmer summers? How will snow and ice change from year to year? What lies under glaciers? And what new species are waiting to be found?
