The Sphinx, a patch of snow believed to be the longest-lasting in the UK, has melted for the fourth consecutive year.
Iain Cameron has spent decades surveying the patch, hidden in one of the most isolated parts of Scotland’s Cairngorms.

The patch was thought to be a permanent fixture in the Scottish landscape – researchers attribute its recent melting to the effects of climate change.
