Summary

Grab your snow goggles and bundle up—Earth Ranger Emma is heading to the Himalayas! This week, we’re unraveling the frosty mystery of the legendary Abominable Snowman. Did Lieutenant Colonel Charles Howard-Bury really spot Yeti tracks in 1921, or was it just a case of mistaken identity (hint: bears might be involved)? Emma teams up with Nirmal, a real-life Sherpa and Everest climber, to explore the truth behind the Yeti myth, uncover the rich culture of the Himalayan people, and sip some yak butter tea. Along the way, they’ll discover amazing facts about snow leopards, climate change, and why the “Abominable Snowman” isn’t such a nice nickname. It’s a frosty, fun, and fascinating trek through one of the world’s most breathtaking regions. Tune in, Earth Rangers—adventure awaits! ——————————— Are you a card-carrying Earth Rangers member yet?
