A team of cartographers and technologists map the impacts of climate change on Mt. Everest. What is one thing you learned from this video?
I learned how much the Khumbu Glacier has receded over the study period.
Previously, I've read that ongoing plate tectonic activity has increased the elevation of the Everest summit by about 1/2" per year. Has anyone studied to see if the Khumbu has also changed in elevation? I imagine that it would also have increased in elevation, but to what degree I have no idea.
If the Khumbu elevation were increasing, then this study would underestimate the effects of climate change on the Khumbu Glacier (higher elevation would mean colder temperatures and thus less ice melt). Clearly "tens of meters" of glacier loss is hugely significant, far outpacing even 1/2" per year of elevation gain, assuming the whole Himalayan range increased at the same rate as the summit due to plate tectonics.
Also, has the increase in the summit height meant that the Khumbu would see more or less snow? More snow captured by a higher peak should have increased the size of the glacier (and the study would underestimate the amount glacial loss due to climate change) , but if the snow fell elsewhere around Everest, possibly at lower elevations, then some glacial loss would be expected (and the study would overestimate the amount of glacial loss due to climate change).
A fascinating topic, I'd love to learn more on the subject!

Lidar mapping.
Imagine being all the way at the top and forgetting your instruments at the bottom.
That would never happen. They are professionals and there are checks in place to make sure that would never, ever happen.
@@postindierock5063 but let’s just say , for hypothetical reasons, he did , would it be quick trip down and back up ? Or is it like an hour because of height/pressure acclimation.
Or or Or? Is there like a pulley with a cart ? Lol just caul the equipment up and down when necessary
I'm bc of school
@JuanSanchez-qp1xp It takes westerners 3 months to climb Everest base to Summit. A Sherpa can do it in 24 hours, these weren't and aren't Sherpas.
No such thing as a pulley or quick up and down.😂
Proud of my country NEPAL 🇳🇵
Would love to visit
Gotta love this channel one if the best out there!
Thank you for your support! Stay curious.
I concur
I respect the plp that risk there life's for these shots but, as well grateful for them seein these beautiful views. So then. I do enjoy the vid,'s, and safe to all.
Best video of 2020 hands down. Shout out to National Geographic
The beautiful weather 🌞❤️ I love it ❤️❤️❤️
What a compelling intersection between emerging technologies with historical data points.
0:29 at first I thought that was trash left by the hikers 😂
I'm a fan from the Philippines who always love maps, and of course the National geographic! :>
This channel is simply outstanding . Beautifully Created 🙏
es majestuosa la Naturaleza, Saludos desde Argentina.
From physical maps to digital maps...From physical banking to internet banking from oil to electric cars from single use rockets to reusable rockets .....And so on....Thanks for everything...❤❤❤
Wonderful video. People who unable to visit these places, now able to visit digitally because of national geography.wonderful.
Excelente trabajo...!!
Its breathtakingly beautiful!
Mt. Everest is truly incredible. We're glad you enjoyed the video!
Beautiful but thrilling ...!!!!
This channel can be so much more , get so much more views , everything is top quality , you need to put out more videos ! More of the 101 series too!!
Naturally beautiful appciate you guys good job
Greatest channel
Geografic hacen documentales impresionantes.
❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
A bot first?
Impossible
Video is full of information and it's just wow to me..... Loved the method of mapping with recently developed instruments.....
loved it
Good to see you guys at the Everest region for 3D mapping along with creating awareness for environmental conversation! :)
Real nice. I see nature is real and unforgiving. The locals don't call it mount Everest. Some guy named Everest came along and staked claim.
amazing
We couldn't agree more, David! Never stop exploring.
Global warming and climate change is an alarming issue affecting millions of lives across the world. Captivating research and storetelling in this video!!👍
Very nice
Everything kinda Looks breathtaking until avalanche hits!
Not me watching this to avoid zoom
God bless my country 🇳🇵 Nepal🙏
I get tired just looking at people climb Everest! Lol 😎👍🏽
Nice Coverage
🍀🍀🇮🇳🍀🍀
عالیی بود افرین به همتون ❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗
💚💚💚
🙏 Please save the nature !!
I am very proud be a Nepali, because Mt. Everest lies here. All the best!
🌹🌹🙏
🇳🇵Hail Nepal !!!
Good to travel
Like Enigma album 👍🏿

What happened to the glacier when it erupted back in the 80s? There's nothing on it. When the mountain blew its top and sent all that heat up into the air did the glacier survive it or is this glacier new?
Mt. Everest is not volcanically active. You’re thinking of Mt. St. Helens in Washington State which did indeed blow its top in the early 80’s. The glaciers on that mountain did melt and formed massive mud flows.
Watching by a nepali.. proud to be nepali
5 views but 7 likes in 31 seconds. Not bad. 🙏
Question: Is this data open-source? I'm just imagining someone putting together a game with Unreal Engine 5 or something ☺️
That’s a good idea!
This is 1 day ago, and eventually I knew ...
Question
What about all the heat created by the people in Base Camp is this recorded ?
eg. A 50sqm camping area maybe expelling enough heat to cover a 200sqm area would this human envolvment also be measured into the calculations of the thermofrost
Does Nat Geo have a specific body dedicated to organized advocacy?
Ok, the first researcher's voice is really similar to Trump 😂.
Mount everest is in Nepal. :) 🇳🇵
Just put some 'You are Here' signs I reckon
I hear allot of about everyone should act now before it's too late etc. but I would what can I do, as an individual to contribute towards slowing the climate change?
Do they just leave tents and all up there when they leave??
They don't. They take it with them after they are done sumitting.
@@saksham738 there were almost 100 tents in the video... no way thats all crew tents.
@@maddonut621 it’s not just the crew, the conditions are obviously great with the sun, lots of climbers camped out waiting for the best day to summit. Everest has lost its gem factor due to how many climbers and non climbers with guides attempt it.
Many tents in the upper camps are destroyed by the wind and left there as you can see from many videos taken by the tourists and posted here on TH-cam.
@@maddonut621 Not all of those are crew tents. I believe the crew went up there during the peak season when the conditions to summit are the best. Most of the tents are of other summitting crews who went to climb Everest.
Mt. Everest = World’s highest dumping ground.
I am a big big fan of Phillipe
Haha lol
above ocean peak, this is tallest. However, Mauna Kea, stands at a whopping 33,500 feet - nearly a mile taller than Everest from its base.
Ight don't die climbing that giant.
mate thanks for your effort, 1,000,000 years from now earth will be the same as it was! to mention some "rain of fire". lets focus on to mars expedition, maybe we can find life there. they already put billions of $$$$$$$s for that project, that if they intend to spend it to solve the problems here on earth hopefully problem freee. but it is what is it is.... lets just hope and pray that our grand sons and daughters will make it to mars...peace you'all

Ty
i bet you're like 10
Well at least we can see someone risking they're life,to entertain us.
I am one of The Proud Nepali to have Mr. Everest in our country Nepal .😊😊 Although Nepal is small country but it's blessed with breathtaking views❤❤❤
Second
Gostaria que fosse traduzido em português
Everyone is reading comment instead of seeing video while video is playing they are scrolling down 😅
Nope.
😳
I'm here bc of school
Hope they broutht an Nvidia DGX module 😏
Pakistan 🇵🇰❤️
It really is a nice place, want to visit again
Thought google earth already mapped earth
I want to be a Physical Geographer.
Yes, they are so clever:
1) When the glacier melts there will be more water
2) When the glacier has melted there will be less water
And you can learn that just by going to an American University for 7 years. Incredible!
all the big manufacture country who used harmfull chemical for their factoryes like china ,india some usa as well Eastern asia country made this global situation and i must tell they are the respectable for having climate change and they must Compensation for all smll country who lost their income base day by day like mt everest bhutan and many more country ...
Check this out
It would be appropriate to change your channel name as INTERNATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
Ice is for ice cream not in mountains we are sorry we are changing human history. Global warming is too severe and we are all to blame for this.
Greed is destroying the planet
Should rappers be shot or hanged.
Shot - Like👍
Hanging - subscribe 🙏
Ignore mat karna......
its not tallest but highest mountain in the world.
I would blame climate change for india and china cause they have the largest population in the world..and climate change is real
;-)
ok
Pride of Nepal
The people who disliked this are Trump fans! Lol 🤣😂🤣
"If that glacier is gone, that's something that can't be brought back."
FALSE.
Glaciers have formed and also melted in the past, shaping many parts of the Earth. To state that a glacier can never return is a total falsehood.
