Glaciers are usually associated with colder climates. But some mountain ranges of South America, Africa, and Indonesia are also 26 glaciers and ice sheets. These tropical glaciers serve as a major source of water supply to one-sixth of the world’s population. A newly published study, however, revealed that rising temperatures are posing an 27 threat to the last tropical glaciers in Indonesia’s Papua region. The ice sheets, which once spanned 20 square kilometers, are thinning over five times as quickly compared to a few years ago. 28 already shrunk by 85% to a mere 0.5 square kilometers, Papua’s glaciers will completely disappear within a decade, researchers have predicted. The disappearance of the glaciers will also leave a significant 29 impact. For many indigenous Papuans, the ice sheets represent a sacred symbol. “The mountains and valleys are the arms and legs of their god and the glaciers are the head,” explained the head researcher. The study warned that Papua’s glaciers are only the “first to go” if greenhouse gases are 30 and temperatures continue rising. And this is certainly a serious warning about the depressing fate of other glaciers around the world.

請觀察主詞 $mountain$ $ranges$ 與受詞 $glaciers$ 之間的語意關係。在英文慣用法中，若要描述一個特定的地理位置是某種自然景觀或物種的『所在地』或『棲息地』時，通常會使用哪一個名詞片語與連繫動詞 $be$ 搭配，以表達該場域是這些事物的『家園』？
