Listen "Evolving Everest Part 1: The Climber"
Episode Synopsis
In this first installment of a two-part series, we are exploring the changing face of Mount Everest through the experiences of Scott Thuman, news anchor at 7 News Washington, DC, who trekked beyond Everest's base camp. Through Thuman's account, you'll learn about the brutal conditions of high-altitude hiking – from the oxygen-starved air to the punishing winds and subzero temperatures – while discovering how climate change is transforming this iconic landscape. We'll examine the increasingly unstable Khumbu Glacier and what these changes mean for the future of high-altitude mountaineering, setting the stage for Part 2's upcoming discussion with a glaciologist studying these dramatic transformations.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
