Some interesting facts about crossing
Some interesting facts about crossing Everest's deadly slopes of the Khumbu icefall. The most famous glacier in Nepal – the Khumbu glacier is only about twelve kilometers in length, which is not much compared with other glaciers. You can find it even longer in the European Alps. But it is interesting mainly due to the famous Khumbu Icefall – a very dangerous part of the ascent route to Mount Everest.
Khumbu Glacier, the highest glacier in the world is located in the Khumbu region of northeastern Nepal between Mount Everest and the Lhotse-Nuptse ridge at an elevation of 4,900 m at its end to 7600 m at its source.
The glacier has a large icefall, the Khumbu Icefall, This icefall is the first major obstacle—and among the most dangerous ones, on the standard south col route to the Everest summit.
On Mount Everest, glaciers have created a dreadful section of ice known as the Khumbu Icefall, which challenges mountaineers at the very start of their climb. An icefall is created when a glacier begins to move downhill on a steep slope.
The Khumbu Glacier moves constantly, on average one meter per day, through the eye of the needle between the West Shoulder and Nuptse, about 600 meters down towards the base camp. And it does not flow evenly.
Since the structures are continually changing, crossing the Khumbu Icefall is so dangerous that even extensive rope and ladder crossing cannot prevent loss of life. Many people have died in this area while climbing.
Safety. A person should never walk on the Khumbu glacier alone. The risk of slipping on the ice and sliding into an open crevasse or breaking through and falling into a hidden crevasse is too high.
