I meet up with Iain Cameron, Scotland's foremost authority on snow patches, with over 20 published papers on the subject and an author of "The Vanishing Ice" I couldn't have been in better company as we head to see if Scotland's last snow patch will survive until the cold weather returns. As per the title it is likely the location where the last glacier melted and where the first one may re appear when the next Ice Age returns.....
