As I was having a browse in the 'Changing Himalayas' series on the Guardian website, I came across the work of Stephaine Spray, a PhD student from Harvard. Entitled 'Wind Horse', Spray (2011) has recorded the sounds produced by a glacier, and refers to it as the 'groaning belly of the earth' (Guardian, 2011). I'm not quite sure what belly she has been listening to, I'd describe it more as a bubbling brook. but is worth a listen if you get a spare moment. You never know, one day it could be on one of those 'relaxing sounds' CD's you find in gardening shops, though I think they would have to dub out the breathing over the top.
