Anna Callaghan of Outside Magazine recently spoke to Duncan Quincey, Scott Watson, and Owen King about past and upcoming fieldwork on the world's highest glacier. The team have been investigating how fast the Khumbu Glacier is melting and how this relates to ice cliffs and supraglacial ponds on the surface of the heavily debris-covered glacier.

Anyone visiting Everest Basecamp may spot the team, who will be supported by Nepal-based Himalayan Research Expeditions, working on the Glacier from mid-May. Feel free to say hi and ask lots of questions!
