Dubbed the Sphinx, the snow on a remote Scottish mountain has in the past survived for decades at a time.
What is historically the UK's longest lasting patch of snow has disappeared for "only the eighth time in 300 years".
Some of Dr Watson's research on the Sphinx drew on information handed down by generations of people who worked and visited the Cairngorms, which suggests the patch may have only melted a few times in the last 300 years. He added that the conditions were affecting snowy areas high on other Scottish mountains including in the Ben Nevis range in Lochaber.
