The Virtual Getaway: Climbing Mount Everest

Mount Everest attracts many climbers, some of them highly experienced mountaineers. There are two main climbing routes, one approaching the summit from the southeast in Nepal (known as the "standard route") and the other from the north in Tibet. 

While not posing substantial technical climbing challenges on the standard route, Everest presents dangers, such as altitude sickness, weather, and wind, as well as significant hazards from avalanches and the Khumbu Icefall. 

But now that the world -including the Earth’s highest mountain- has ground to a halt because of the Covid 19 pandemic, The Virtual Getaway by Caribbean News Digital wants to take you there with this virtual tour. 

Mount Everest 3D has developed an interactive 3D map of Mount Everest which is unique in its resolution, unparalleled in detail, and based on the latest satellite technology. 

The map includes the two most-travelled routes to the highest mountain on Earth, all historical routes and the most famous trekking routes in the Khumbu region. "Everest 3D" also comes in app format, making it the perfect trekking companion.
