　　In this regard, other netizens questioned that there was not much snow in the mountains of Shuangqiaogou, unless the blogger went to Changpinggou a few days ago and took pictures of Yaomei Peak as it was in the picture, in order to prove the four peaks. The snow on Mt. Girl has indeed melted away.

　　"All melting is definitely impossible." On August 17, a staff member of the Siguniang Mountain Administration said in an interview with The Paper (www.thepaper.cn), "The amount of glaciers in summer is definitely not comparable to that in winter. The temperature is indeed higher than in previous years, and the melting speed of the glaciers may be faster than before. The human eye can see that the glaciers will indeed be much less, but within the normal threshold, it will not have much impact on the glaciers as a whole. Many glaciers in the region are currently in good condition."

　　The staff member also explained that the glaciers of Mount Siguniang are mainly distributed on the shady slopes above 4,600 meters above sea level. Ordinary tourists do not use special equipment such as drones in the redwood forest area, and they cannot see the whole glacier with the naked eye. Only the edge of the glaciers can be seen. In fact, there are large pieces of glaciers in places that many tourists can’t see, and in places with higher altitudes like Yaomei Peak, the glaciers that can be seen in summer will indeed be visible. more.
