Shocking Reality Of Noises At Mount Everest

Let’s learn about these strange sounds and know why and how it occurs. We’ll hear some stories from climbers who’ve experienced these sounds. Join us as we uncover the truth behind these mysterious noises.

The Phenomenon

Study And Research On Mount Everest Noises

Researchers found that the loud sounds of ice breaking happened when the temperature dropped after sunset.

They spent over 3 weeks on the glacier near Mount Everest, not knowing what was causing the noises at night. After hearing terrifying noises at Mount Everest, Dr. Podolskiy and his colleagues realized the glacier was cracking.

So, when they went back and checked their Seismic data(Vibration Data), they found out that the chilling temperature was causing the thermal fractures in the ice. Also, the extreme weather conditions at high altitudes amplify these sounds, creating a scary sound for listeners. The study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, suggests that ice is very sensitive to these fast changes in temperature.

Their study tells us about how glaciers behave as the earth gets warmer due to climate change. It was one of the first studies to show that a lot of vibrations in glaciers happen because of the ice cracking.

Impact On Climbers

Its Relation With Climate Change

As the Earth gets warmer during the day and suddenly goes to minus after sunset causes ice breaking which again leads to more vibration on the Himalayas, which can also cause earthquakes which is bad news for people living nearby. It could also lead to big floods and make it hard for millions of people to get clean water.

The importance of taking action on climate change is becoming more obvious every day. Preserving our precious natural resources is more important than ever. Dr. Podolskiy’s research shows how human actions affect the delicate balance of nature. We need to work together worldwide to reduce greenhouse gas emissions if we want to protect our planet and its beautiful glaciers for the future.
