About this listen
Recorded at 6,400m on Everest, is this the highest altitude podcast recording ever? We don’t know but we do know that you’re going to love it!
Kenton speaks to University of Leeds based Professor of Glaciology, Duncan Quincey, about his current research project on the Khumbu glacier. Whilst Kenton was climbing Everest, Duncan and his team were installing some impressive, solar-powered equipment at Camp 2 to monitor changing glacial temperatures over the coming months.
In this episode, Duncan explains his hypothesis to Kenton and talks about the early data they are collecting. He is clearly passionate about what he does and they cover glaciers, melt rates, radiation, snowfall, precipitation, temperatures and livelihoods in this fascinating conversation. There’s more to glacial research than you might imagine!
