Mount Qomolangma's highest camp on Nepal's Everest route is facing a massive cleanup challenge. This year's climbing season left the camp cluttered with over 10 tonnes (24,000 pounds) of garbage, including four dead bodies and a skeleton.
A dedicated team of Nepal government-funded soldiers and Sherpas worked tirelessly to remove the trash and recover remains that have been frozen near the peak for years. Despite their efforts, experts estimate that it will take several years to fully restore the pristine environment of the world's highest peak.
Environmental concerns are rising as more climbers continue to visit Mount Qomolangma, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable practices in one of the planet's most iconic locations. 🌿🗑️
