Back to the Scottish Highlands for Day 1 of a fabulous Alpine prep course, focussing on rope work for glacier travel and crevasse rescue, followed by an afternoon of scrambling and terrain belaying.

University of Brighton Lecturer Lorna Linch has co-led an international team of researchers on a two-week research expedition to study how #ClimateChange causes the break-up of Arctic ice sheets. Funded by Interact Programme, the team explored the remote Qaanaaq Ice Cap in Greenland.
