  • Lhotse – 8516M
    Lhotse – 8516m The 4th highest mountain in the world Ascent of Lobuche East to minimise the travel through the Khumbu Icefall Via the Western Cwm, Lhotse Face & Lhotse Couloir EXPEDITION OVERVIEW First climbed by Swiss climber Ernest Reiss in 1956, to this day Lhotse (Tibetan for “South Peak”) has only received just over 600 ascents compared to Everest’s several thousand. Why not join Adventure Peaks in climbing one of the most spectacular and dominating 8000m giants. Director of Adventure Peaks Dave Pritt, an Everest summiteer, has over twenty years’ experience organising and leading high altitude expeditions, including 8000m peaks. He is supported by Stu Peacock, a regular and very talented high altitude mountaineer who has climbed Broad Peak, has led successful expeditions to Cho Oyu and to both sides of Everest as well as becoming the first Britt to summit Everest three times on the North Side. The expedition is a professionally-led, non-guided expedition. We say non-guided because our leader and Sherpa team working with you will not be able to protect your every move and you must therefore be prepared to move between camps unsupervised. You will have an experienced leader who has previous experience of climbing at extreme high altitude together with the support of our very experienced Sherpa team, thus increasing your chance of success. Participation Statement Adventure Peaks recognises that climbing, hill walking and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement.

  • Response to Reviewers' Comments to Manuscript Essd-2020-57 “Annual 30-Meter Dataset for Glacial Lakes in High Mountain Asia
    Response to Reviewers’ comments to manuscript essd-2020-57 “Annual 30-meter Dataset for Glacial Lakes in High Mountain Asia from 2008 to 2017” Dear Editors and Reviewers: Thank you a lot for your kind and careful reviewing. Your suggestions give us important and constructive perspective on this manuscript, and help to improve the manuscript greatly. We have fully considered all the comments of you, and have substantially revised our manuscript according to your comments. A point-by-point response to the outstanding comments raised is attached to this manuscript. The major changes are summarized as follows: 1. We have put considerable effort to update data of glacial lakes for the ten year records, and manually append their attribute information. The related statistics, figures and analysis in the article have also been modified based on the new lake inventory. 2. We have comprehensively investigated the existing works about glacial lake inventory in the Section 1. Introduction, and quantitatively analysed and compared these inventories with ours in the Section 6. Discussions, to clearly show benefits and challenges remaining in this study. 3. Detailed explanations about the mapping of some problematic ice-covered lakes have been given in the Section 3.2. The number of missed or misclassified lakes that need to be manually corrected were also described clearly. 4. A thorough and quantitative uncertainty analysis of lake area was added in the Section 4 of revised manuscript, the error bars for the lake area, and confidence intervals for the estimated trends were also added throughout the paper. 5. We have carefully modified the language deficiencies, imprecise expressions, and provided more detailed interpretations and conclusions.

Although sparse seasonal (snow/ice) melt data may be available, dense precipitation networks are not available everywhere, and especially in the highest area, and the assessment of accumulation processes and mass balance may be difficult. Hydrological fluxes are little measured in the high altitudes, and few studies are available covering flow modeling and flow partitioning. Here, we investigate the snow accumulation, ice melt, and mass balance of West Khangri Nup (WKN) glacier (0.23 km2, mean altitude 5494 m asl), which is a part of the Khumbu glacier in the Everest region, where information of precipitation and hydro-glaciological dynamics in the highest altitudes was made available recently in fulfillment of several research projects.
