The temperature must be fairly mild. I think you could actually get sun burned from the reflection off the snow, couldn’t you? Such a beautiful scene, Andy!
Yes – sunburn at altitude can be a serious problem. UV light is a lot stronger the higher you climb so you really do need a high factor snow screen and a good glacier cream for lips too – they can suffer the worst.
