Mereka Berjalan Disungai Yang beku selama 8 hari Bawa bayi baru lahir dan orang mati
Tired and inspirational pregnant women in isolated villages have to trek for 44 miles (70km) along a frozen river to reach the nearest hospital.
A photographer encountered the exhausted families from Ladakh, in the Himalayan foothills, as they travelled home with their newborns.
Many of the mothers live in towns with no hospital and no doctor, so the women trek for nine days to reach a hospital before the birth, and then make the difficult journey back with their babies.
