Officials at Delhi’s airport cancelled operations at Terminal 1 after an outdoor metal canopy collapsed during torrential rainfall on Friday.

The 2,100-mile border separating India and China passes through some of the world’s most inhospitable terrain. In the west, it runs along India’s Ladakh region, at an altitude of 13,000 to 20,000 feet. During the months when the area isn’t covered in snow, the ground resembles a moonscape.

The bleak conditions and barren vistas can induce despair in those who set foot on the land. “I’ve been to those places,” a former Indian diplomat who now works for an international Buddhist organization in Delhi told me. “When you visit, you tend to think, Who the hell even wants this area?”
Indervir Singh has worked for the Delhi Fire Services for 32 years, but he can’t recall responding to as many fires as this summer.
