Sanskrit writing in glacial ice. What does it say?

Hi, and thanks in advance for any answers.

On Google Earth at

32° 54’ 36.39” N 97° 2’ 46.38” E

or alternately at photobucket:

there appears to be a huge message carved in to the ice, either in Sanskrit or Tibetan.

It is perhaps a political message.

I would be very interested to know the translation.

Thanks again for any replies!

This image is actually upside down.

It is indeed Tibetan script.

The middle of the 3 sentences is probably the famous Manimala mantra "Om Manipadme Hung"

Yes it is the great mantra, thank-you!
