about

"The orchards of Germir" is a traditional song from Germir, a village in the Kayseri Province. The village idiot falls in love with the lord’s daughter. The lord gets rid of the Romeo by promising him the hand of his daughter on one condition: "That will be possible when the snow on top of the Erciyes mountains will have melted …." The village idiot would have waited all his life for the eternal snow to melt.

A report from 1905 indicated that the glacier of the Erciyes volcano was 700 metres long. In 2009, it was only 260 metres and by 2070 it could have disappeared completely due to global warming.
