2025 MEF EXPEDITION SUMMARIES - LOSTMELT This scientific expedition successfully trialled a novel technique which used nobel gasses to trace groundwater. They plan to return to the Khumbu glacier in Spring 2026 and assess where the 'lost' meltwater from the glacier's hydrological system goes.

A busy couple of weeks for the Losing their Cool team - we've drilled, cored, installed thermistors & erected an AWS, all at 6500m beneath the Lhotse Face. Next challenge is to get a flight out of Lukla 😄 @matt-peacey.bsky.social @climatom.bsky.social @unileedsnews.bsky.social @envleeds.bsky.social
