This morning we woke to a dusting of fresh powder. My first thought was the song “Snow, snow, snow” from the movie-musical White Christmas. With Bing Cosby’s melodies in my head I wandered to our breakfast room, only to find our departure to Imja Lake was delayed…

Luckily, the slushy rain let up around 10am and our expedition was able to depart after lunch. A few hours later, we found ourselves in a neon yellow tent village at Imja Lake Base Camp. We have arrived! For the next three days, we will explore the lake, exchange with locals, and brainstorm future research and action items.

And with walls of mountains surrounding us and the lake in our backyard, inspiration will surely flow.
