Are the glaciers melting in the Himalayas?

The glaciers are changing, even in altitude. What are the effects of climate change on the ecological environment in the Himalayas? Check this video with impressive photos of the shape of glaciers few years back... and now!

When I trek to Everest Base Camp, every year I can notice an increase of the number of tiny lakes that has formed along the moraine. They are here because of the melting ice. The moraine is huge and the remaining ice from the glacier is kept underneath the rocks. It is an impressive landscape. But it is changing.
