The changes will impact climbers scaling the peak and local people who live in the shadow of it.

The only place that punctures the stratosphere-Everest's peak reaches 29,035 feet above sea level-has an atmosphere so thin that it leaves mountaineers gasping for breath and glaciers so big that they stretch for miles on end. Despite being the highest point on Earth, Mount Everest still can't escape the effects of climate change. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This may be a homage to Hal Foster's comic strip, Prince Valiant or Prince Valiant in the Days of King Arthur.
