Mount Everest in Real-time


Just 10 years ago, a camera was located in Kala Patthar, Nepal. It was the highest in the world (18,619 ft. or 5,675 meters). It was installed by Italian scientists as part of the Everest Share 2011 research project by the Nepalese Ev-K2-CNR team.
Coordinates:  27.9958° N, 86.8284° E

November through May is the ideal time for clear views of Mt. Everest. Noontime in Nepal is 1:15 A.M. CST.

The camera is no longer working. I miss it. The last images were from 09/11/2015.

Read about it on Wikipedia.

The sun was setting on Mt. Everest. 
The image is from a screen-capture I took in January 2013.
