In this February 19, 2019 photo, scientists hike during a mission to study how temperatures and plant life are changing in the Andean ecosystem known as the paramos – a mist-covered mountain grassland that lies between the top of the treeline and the bottom of the Humboldt glacier, in Merida, Venezuela. The team of scientists in Venezuela is trying to weather the political and economic crisis engulfing their country to record what happens as Venezuela's last glacier vanishes.
