    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!
