View of the Khumbu Icefall on Mount Everest from Everest's Khumbu Basecamp, Nepal. The Icefall is center in the image, and leads climbers through treacherous terrain to the Western Cwm above. To the left of the Icefall rises the massive West Shoulder and the Lho La (Pass) and, to the right, the sweeping ridges and faces of Nuptse.
