  1. ⛺️ NEW: #Everest Base Camp becomes a temporary settlement of about 1,600 tents on the #Khumbu Glacier each #spring for roughly 50 days.

    Heat from burned fuel and warm urine contributes to local #glacier melt, with fuel responsible for about 94% of the modeled human-caused #warming. Surface temps there are rising faster than in surrounding glacier areas, and researchers suggest the camp could be relocated.

  6. 🔍 Ah, the riveting tale of "what if a lake bursts?" in the #Himalayas. Because, clearly, it's not like we have bigger lakes to worry about or anything. 😂 Just a regular Tuesday in academia, folks! ⛰️💦

  11. #Movies #ClassicMovies . . .

    Just rewatched #LostHorizon (1937) on #Tubi, a #FrankCapra movie starring #RonaldColeman & co-starring #JaneWyatt, for the 1s time in years.

    I've got this #movie on #DVD but the one on Tubi is the restored 132 min movie; the one that I have on DVD is a shorter cut version.

    The movie is about finding the mythical city of #ShangraLa in the #Himalayas. It's a great movie & a "must see," if you're a movie buff & if you've never seen it before.

    It's in B&W. They have the full sound track but 6-7 mins of the film was never found in useable condition. I'd rate it 9 out of 10.

  12. Improving Forest Loss Mapping In Nepal Using Landtrendr Time-Series And Machine Learning

    “HIGHLIGHTS:
    • ViT-based forest mask, multispectral ensemble LandTrendr and terrain shadow mask.
    • District-level RF/XGBoost model training with expert-weighted validation.
    • Outperformed GFC and REDD + AI benchmarks in accuracy and F1 performance.
    • RF excelled in High Mountains/Himalayas; XGBoost in the lower Mountain regions.
    • NBR contributed the most; snow-impacted forest loss uncertainty was observed..."

  13. 🥶🔍 Oh no, the #Himalayas are turning into a barren #wasteland because winter is slacking off on snow duty! Scientists "warn" us with their serious faces while we all collectively yawn and scroll past the BBC's infinite scrolling chaos. Remember, if it's not melting faster than your ice cream on a hot day, it's probably not newsworthy. 🌍🔬

    /Blonde lady is friend's GF. Comes to #India annually. No, she's not your typical angrez backpacker. Adding this, lest some nanny here thinks I picked it up from the internet.

  15. Just a little update to the Emerald Tiger Moth (Callindra principalis) seen zipping about Bhutan at 2900m.

    I first saw one two days ago, and posted those pics above. But then yesterday while visiting Gangtey Gonpa another one landed right in front of me while walking the grounds of the gonpa!

  16. It is the Everest Day on Monday. The mountain was climbed for the first time 70 years ago on this day, when Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary stood on its top.

  27. This was taken well after #sunset into early darkness but the #peaks of the #himalayas on the #trek to #EverestBasecamp in #Nepal are so high that they catch the glow even after darkness has set in. It’s truly unlike any light I’ve seen.
