Artificial intelligence, quantum computing and satellites have the potential to exponentially improve our capability to monitor and predict the impacts of climate change on our environment.As floods and natural disasters hit Nepal and other countries this summer, in this episode of the On Thin Ice podcast we look at how new technologies and other proven methods can help stay safe in the mountains and in the great outdoors. Host Paolo Bosonin speaks with Laura Kottlowski, professional ice skater and influencer with tens of millions of viewers on TikTok and Instagram, and Tenzing Chogyal Sherpa, glaciologist at ICIMOD.Laura Kottlowski shares her insights from years of studying frozen lakes around the world, and explains how her discipline is having to adapt to the loss of ice around the world, where many natural ice rinks are quickly disappearing.Tenzing Chogyal Sherpa, who has been closely watching the evolution of glaciers around Mount Everest and other parts of the Himalayas, breaks down some of the dangers faced by local populations: with melting glaciers, there are more and more lakes that could outburst and cause massive damage to villages and people living downstream.But Tenzing, Laura and other scientists say artificial intelligence and machine learning can scale up their ability to process satellite images and other data, allowing for a better understanding of the consequences of higher temperatures on our world's ice - and on the communities whose lives depend on it.So can AI help us mitigate the risks brought by climate change?

In this weeks episode we discussed all things canyoning and white water rafting. And recommended 2 sites to get some great info that include Manawa.com and awe365.com. We talked about where you can do this and what gear you're gonna need!!We also explored the Portes Du Soleil area, that includes the towns of Morzine, Les Gets, Avoriaz and Chatel on the French side and Champéry, Morgins and Les Crosets on the Swiss side and everything that this superb area ha to offer.And finally we took you on our bucket list trip to Route to Everest Base Camp itself.We looked at that trek itself, what you need to do it, what gear you need, and how fit you need to be and exactly what the route looks like...The journey to Everest Base Camp typically begins with a flight into Lukla Airport also known as Tenzing-Hillary Airport. From Lukla, trekkers follow the legendary trail known as the Everest Base Camp Trek, which winds through picturesque Sherpa villages to Namche Bazaar (2,860 meters) to Namche Bazaar (3,440 meters), the busy hub of the Khumbu region. This stretch involves crossing suspension bridges over rivers, ascending stone staircases, and passing through dense forests of rhododendron and pine.Then Acclimatization stops are planned at strategic points such as Namche itselfThe next stage is Tengboche (3860) to Dingboche (4,410 meters) and then Lobuche (4,910 meters)Then Lobuche onwards  the final leg to Everest Base Camp (5,364 meters) and involves navigating glacial moraines and rocky terrain.The Intro and Outro music today was supplied by Rob himself on the guitar singing a Rod Stewart classic. Our next winter episode will be out on the 4th of October as we now take a break for the summer. In the meantime, please do tell your mates about The White Out Podcast - it really helps us get bigger an dbetter. Thanks for listening. See you soon.In the meantime Enjoy the mountains :) And Please do leave a review as it's the only way other like minded travellers get to find us!

Everest's summit is slammed by hurricane-force winds, causing most teams to hunker down or pause rotations for a few days. However, the fixed ropes have reached the South Col. China confirms it will open the Nepal border on May 7th. This season will go down as all dressed up and nowhere to go - on both sides. First, on the Nepal side, as of the end of April, many teams have historically completed their rotations and are going into wait mode for the ropes to reach the summit. However, it appears that only a few have completed a meaningful amount of time this year at Camp 2. A few have tagged Camp 3, but almost no team spent the night at 7000 meters. To be fair, in recent years, many teams have dropped this difficult acclimatization at C3 in favor of using copious amounts of supplemental oxygen starting lower at Camp 2. Many teams have wrapped up their climbs on Mera, Island or Lobuche as an acclimatization activity instead of going through the Icefall one more time. These teams are returning to EBC and will make only one rotation to C2 before calling it good. Those in a rush—Flash/Speed/Rapid/Quick/Speed/Rabbit—whatever—will only go through the Icefall once on their summit push. Sherpas from Seven Summits Treks have the fixed ropes to the South Col. With the ten-day delay in fixing the Icefall; the Nepal government approved a plan to use helicopters to fly more gear to Camp 2 to fix the route to the summit. This is not unprecedented. On April 23, 2016, summit rope fixing gear (rope, anchors, oxygen for the Sherpas above the South Col) was long-lined to Camp 1 by helicopters - all approved by the Government.  It took six trips by helicopter plus a spotter in a separate helicopter to deliver the gear. No climbers or Sherpas were transported. This saved 87 Sherpa loads and potentially lives if there were another serac release or other natural disaster in the Icefall. This was a good move then, as it is today. So, while it feels slower than usual, the teams are making the best of it. So, if the ropes reach the summit by May 10, as advertised, we can expect the usual flood of summit waves to follow quickly. First will be the super large teams like the 100s from Seven Summits Treks and many other Nepali-run teams. The Western teams will patiently wait at EBC for them to kick in steps, clear out and then take their turn. Finally, we'll see the uber–patient teams make their summit push, targeting May 19–22. Again, all of this depends on the weather. Adrian Ballinger of Alpenglow says, "Just FYI, we got our Tibet invites and official word of the May 7 border opening. Locked and loaded!" They will cross the border along with climbers with Climbalaya and Furtenbach. However, another commercial team has given up on climbing Everest from the Tibetan side. Makalu Extreme joined Adventure Peaks, Kobler & Partner, and Arnold Coster to switch to the Nepal side. Makalu Extreme  posted this update revealing their frustration: Not much news from the Everest 2024 climb from the Makalu Extreme team. Today our guide Dorchy and our member Pavel are in Goraksher. Work on setting up the Base Camp will begin tomorrow. I would like to remind you that our team and two tons of expedition cargo urgently left Kathmandu on April 26. The expedition was urgently shifted to Nepal due to the negligence of the Chinese authorities. EverestEr reports in with their treatment Talley: As of April 29, Nepal has issued 390 climbing permits for Everest to 37 teams representing 60 countries. The United States has the most climbers, with 70, followed by China with 65.

Today (April 19, 2023), Johnny Ward is on Mt. Everest, aiming to summit by the end of May! Between now and his summit day, the WanderLearn Show will cover Johnny's climb up Earth's highest mountain! I'll begin each episode with an update on Ward's Everest climb, and then we'll feature an excerpt from my interview with him when we were together in  Chinguetti, Mauritania. I interviewed him when I dropped in on one of his guided Mauritanian adventure trips. Later, we reunited in his adopted hometown, Chiang Mai, Thailand. About this episode Johnny Ward had no rowing experience, yet he rowed across the Atlantic Ocean with three men he had never met! Learn about his adventure! Watch it on YouTube, which features 3-minutes of BBC footage of his row! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8EQ4W0rmpg  April 19, 2023 Ward update on Everest 2 weeks into our Everest expedition and sh*t is starting to get real. We finally ventured off the lovely Everest Base Camp trek to tag a 6100m (20,000 feet) Himalayan summit, Lobuche. For our Everest climb, this is simply a warm up. For me personally, it's the 3rd highest mountain I've ever climbed! Very grateful for @luckydavewatson guiding our crew. It's been a brilliant 3 days, challenging but brilliant. Climbing Lobuche is a privilege and makes me so confident I choose the right operator in @furtenbachadventures. Climbing it alone can cost $3k to $4k, but these guys add it to the expedition to avoid another rotation through the dangerous (and sometimes deadly) Khumbu icefall. The team is going strong. We've all trained hard, dedicated the best part of the last year of our lives to this expedition. Tomorrow we finally reach base camp Follow Johnny Ward on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

Professors Kirsten Nicholson and Klaus Neumann lead a Geoscientists without Borders (GWB) project to find safe drinking water for two communities in the Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal. This country most famously is home to the world's favorite trekking destination - the Himalayans. Even though this area is popular with tourists, it struggles with adequate drinking water. Diseases due to unsafe water are some of the most common causes of death, with diarrheal disease accounting for 4.2% of the global burden of diseases. The situation is far worse in less economically developed, semi-arid mountainous regions where communities experience poor health due to contaminated drinking water. At the same time, these high-altitude regions face increasing pressure caused by climate variability, impacting precipitation patterns, seasonal snowpack, and glacial growth. The issues surrounding long-term resource management and the reduction of water-related vulnerability are complex and rarely involve simple solutions. Large-scale environmental problems usually involve a mixture of science (geology, hydrology, geophysics, ecology, etc.), applied science (engineering, natural resource management), and human dimensions (politics, economics, culture, etc.). Governments often struggle with these problems, and researchers usually deal with a single aspect, two or three at most. Kirsten and Klaus lead a GWB project to solve the water problems of two communities in Nepal - Phortse and Lobuche. These communities sought help to determine the placement and capacity of a water filtration and storage facility that would provide potable water to the community members year-round. The placement of the system is essential so that it is resistant to the impacts of climate change and earthquakes. In this episode, you will hear exclusively from Kirsten and Klaus as they take you on a journey from discovering the need for this project to what they hope they will contribute to these communities. Along the way, they highlight the meaningful contributions of students from the U.S. and Nepal, how the local communities have taken leadership in this project, and share the most enriching experiences for them. This is a powerful example of the significant contribution geoscientists can make when focused on a meaningful project for a local community. Listen to the full archive at https://seg.org/podcast.

One of the benefits of trekking alone as I catch up with my team is no roommate. No roommate equals one free bed, which in turn means two duvets, and believe me both are needed. Even with two duvets draped over me I’m still sleeping fully clothed. Welcome to day 7. The Story Continues...

One of the greatest adventure destinations on the planet-Everest Base Camp, Nepal! We were so blessed with having clear skies in the morning and afternoon each day above 4000 meters. The moments were precious as I mentioned in the video so working fast to capture these moments on video was crucial. I would usually jump out of bed between 5:30-6am, 90 minutes before our scheduled breakfasts on most mornings, to ensure I captured footage of these giants of the Himalayas. Fortunately most of the time the skies remained clear up until the early afternoon. Then like in Lobuche, the skies would clear up again just before sunset, enabling me to get some video of beautiful Nuptse. This was my second time on this trail, I previously completed the Gokyo Valley/Everest Base Camp trek 4 years ago and was still completely overjoyed to be in this setting again. I hope you enjoyed the video and perhaps it will inspire you to head to Nepal to trek to the highest mountain in the world!

Excerpts from "Ultimate Trekking Adventure-Everest Base Camp, Nepal Part 2Having completed one of the toughest days of the trek it was time to move back onto the busy trail to Everest Base Camp. The trail from Lobuche to Gorakshep is only about 5 kilometers but at an average elevation of over 5000 meters it is still challenging, especially when you have a hill to traverse like this one.This is one of the most spectacular panoramas in the entire Himalaya with more up close views of Nuptse. And you’re last look at mighty  Everest in the center  before descending further down into the Khumbu Glacier.Finally you find yourself putting in the last steps to the Base Camp marker at 5360 meters. This was the year that 16 Sherpa guides lost their lives in an avalanche on the Khumbu Icefall. All Everest mountain guides had refused to work the rest of the season out of respect for the victims.  It’s power is best described though in a quote from American filmmaker, climber and 5 time Everest summiter David Brashears. “The mountain doesn’t care whether we’re here or not. It doesn’t compete with us. It isn’t burdened by our hopes and dreams. Everything it means to us is only what we bring to it. It’s what the mountain reveals about us that has any lasting value.”Please like the Far East Adventure Travel Facebook page, you can also follow me on Twiiter, Periscope, Instagram and Google+.
