There are few more beautiful places than Scotland's Winter mountains. But even when most of the snow has melted, isolated patches can linger well into summer and beyond. Iain Cameron chronicles these remarkable and little-seen relics of the Ice Age, describing how they have fascinated travellers and writers for hundreds of years, and reflecting on the impact of climate change.
Iain takes us on a tour of Britain which includes the Scottish Highlands, the southern Uplands, the Lake District and Snowdonia seeking elusive patches of snow in wild and often inaccessible locations. His adventures include a perilous climb in the Cairngorms with comedian Ed Byrne, and glorious days spent out on the hills with Andrew Cotter and his very good dogs Olive and Mabel.
Based on sound scientific evidence and personal obsevations accompanied by stunning photography and wrapped in Iain's shining passion for the British landscape. 'The Vanishing Ice' is a eulogy to snow the mountains and the great outdoors.
