The Sphinx: My Pilgrimage to Scotland’s Vanishing Snow Patch

The Sphinx, an ice cap believed to be the longest standing within the UK, has melted for the fourth 12 months in a row.

Iain Cameron has spent a long time surveying a hidden patch in one of the crucial remoted elements of Scotland’s Cairngorms.

Describing their work as “citizen science,” Iain and different consultants doc snow fields throughout the nation and share their findings with the Royal Meteorological Society.

The patch was as soon as thought of a everlasting fixture within the Scottish panorama – researchers have attributed its current melting to the consequences of local weather change.
