Expedition Everest
This event is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition 2023.
Expedition Everest follows an international coalition of biologists, geologists, glaciologists, meteorologists, and geographers as they study the effects of climate change in one of the most extreme environments on Earth.
The documentary highlights the 2019 National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Everest Expedition, where dozens of scientists converge to investigate what secrets the world’s highest peak has to tell us about our changing climate. The notorious Khumbu Glacier is mapped in stunning detail, biologists study extreme lifeforms, and a team of Sherpas and climate scientists climb straight towards the “death zone” to install the highest weather station in the world.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with climate scientist Tom Matthews (National Geographic Explorer and Senior Lecturer in Environmental Geography, King’s College London) who took part in the expedition.
