Great image. I love the fact that near the top you can see stacked strata on Everest - rock bedding laid over a large area - which, beyond the physical mountain itself, has been eroded away by the Himalayas-full.

Brilliant! bigest camp site I've ever seen. Would never have imagined just how many tents and folk there are up there all at the same time, it's a huge canvas village

It is also the site of the final resting place of over 140 people that thought they could conquer nature & paid with their lives,some were great people like George Mallory & Irving, & a lot of foolish ones.Mick B.

There seems to be hundreds of tents there!
Is that what they call "base camp"?

There are I believe quite a few 'tours' available to base camp now, a friend of mine managed to complete one a couple of years ago.

what got me, was the 'small' peaks just above the base camps.
they look quite a challenge in themselves.
