Sonam Wangchuk is most famous for developing conical artificial glaciers, or “ice stupas,” that can store glacial meltwater during winter and release it throughout the drier spring and summer. He is also known for education reforms, sustainable school buildings made from rammed earth and straw-clay, and portable solar-heated tents built for the Indian army.
