Kyrgyzstan opens criminal probe into destruction of glacial ice by private company.

Private company "illegally built a road to a coal mine" in the area, prosecutors say.

Glaciers are thick masses of ice that form on land from centuries of compressed snow.

Rising temperatures due to climate change and mining operations are putting them at risk.
