Frozen lake with snowy mountains
Contributing to the global effort to address this critical knowledge gap.

On her expedition, Lilith will collect 25 snow samples for a German research team led by Heike Wex at the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS)

PC: Henrique Setim
Scientific Contribution
The Scientific study will give insight into weather patterns and climate systems.
This science study aims to provide insights into atmospheric particles called ice-nucleating particles (INPs) pivotal for snow formation and their variations along the journey. It gives insight into weather patterns and ultimately climate systems.

"For climate protection, no path is too far, no effort too great, and no goal too high. Lilith shows us with her project that through the combination of will, planning, and ability, even the seemingly most difficult goals are achievable. I support Lilith on her journey and would be delighted if you join in this support."
