Maybe this link has already been posted and I missed it.

Never having been there I had no idea how massive the Everest base camp is.

Good night! How do they deal with all the refuse / feces?

Damn those mountains are big! This really brings it into scale.

NOT for those with dial up...

Wandering around in gigapixel images in fun, huh?
Warmer, too.

Did you spot the climbers near the top of the Khumbu Icefall, which is at approximately 5,486 metres (17,999 ft). They're really there. You can also spot a flagged crevasse a little below them. Awesome detail! But Everest Base Camp: What a mess! That place must be so unsanitary. No wonder they're always doing cleanups.
