Hidden Heat on Everest Could Signal Trouble for the Himalayas!

Why is the ice on Mount Everest melting even in freezing air? 🌨️❄️
A bold team of scientists is embarking on one of the most dangerous and ambitious glacier expeditions ever attempted. Their mission: to uncover why Everest’s iconic Khumbu Glacier is closer to melting than anyone thought possible.

The team believes solar radiation and refreezing meltwater are warming the glacier from within — and the results could reshape what we know about glaciers across the Himalayas. Their research could affect millions of people who rely on glacial melt for water, farming, and electricity.

Camping at over 6,400 meters, drilling into ice, and facing brutal conditions, this expedition could uncover never-before-seen data that changes everything.
