PADDLER 16

From

ANGLESEYto

This time last year , I could count on one hand the number of times I ’ d been in a kayak . Fast forward to May 2023 , and along with my colleague Duncan , I ’ m paddling on a glacial lake in remote Nepal , with ice towering above me , installing equipment that will help us predict how this glacier will behave in response to climate change .
