Reaching Camp I on Everest, across the Khumbu Icefall. Crossing a crevasse and looking down its icy depths... Helmet Cam shot of a climber walking on a ladder across a ravine. Located in the Himalayas Mount Everest is the world's highest mountain above sea level at 8,848 metres (29,029 ft). At the higher regions of Mount Everest, climbers seeking the summit typically spend substantial time within the "death zone" (altitudes higher than 8,000 m/26,246 ft), and face significant challenges to survival. Temperatures can dip to very low levels, resulting in frostbite of any body part exposed to the air. Since temperatures are so low, snow is well-frozen in certain areas and death or injury by slipping and falling can occur. This footage is part of the professionally-shot stock footage archive
