Trekking to Everest
Day 9: The trail from Lobuche to Everest Base Camp runs alongside the Khumbu Glacier which begins on Everest itself. This is a view looking up the Khumbu Glacier, covered by a thick layer of moraine, towards the Khumbu Icefall halfway down the photograph on the left hand side. Nuptse (7,861 m) is the mountain on the right towering over the glacier.
