At Base Camp
Everest Base Camp (EBC): 17,600 ft and surrounded by crumbling glaciers. If you were ever sceptical about global climate change spend time at EBC. About every 6 or 12 hrs. there's at least a moderate ice fall/avalanche/rock fall. And every few days there's a huge fall. And thats above you( keep your helmet on). Below you, the glacier you are sleeping on is groaning, creeping and melting and can keep you awake at night.
