How can people live in that moonscape? What in earth do they do there and what do they eat, burn for fuel, get supplies in etc? Amazing.

Hey Krypton_John......they have most of their essentials Portered in by Sherpas, Yaks, grow a few Spuds & a few bits & peaces snuck in on the odd Heli-flight. At this extreme elevation they live their mostly for the Trekkers & Mountaineers to feed 'em, booze 'em & rest 'em

SO glad you're posting again on here. These are just amazing photos and the best thread on here!

I'm sure you've answered this before, but I can't trawl back through the posts to find it! What camera are you using? As a keen photographer myself, are you using a polariser? The clarity is just brilliant!

Thanks for posting them, fab!
