November is just a few days away, but Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji remains snowless, marking the latest date without a snowcap since records began 130 years ago.
Later snowfall on Mount Fuji could be a worrying indication of where the world is headed, with warmer winters having an impact on snow, tourism, local economies, food and water supplies and even allergies.
I realized I don't think I've ever seen a famous (or at least notable) artwork of Fuji where it's not snow covered. Google image search - Ukiyo-e Mount Fuji
