Welcome to Everest Base Camp

By: GearJunkie, 2 years 1 month ago


A subterranean stream gurgles in the glacial ice beneath my feet. An avalanche crashes, ice pillars tumbling down, in the Khumbu Icefall above. Welcome to Base Camp at Mount Everest, a tent city at 17,500 feet and home to more than 1,200 seasonal residents clad in down jackets and mountain boots. There are climbers and guides, Sherpas and cooks, porters, doctors, and at least one world-famous photographer/cinematographer who this week will erect a huge tent featuring hung prints for what he is calling “the highest photo show on the planet.”
