I don't know whether this has been posted already but there is a superb ultra high resolution photo (gigapixel) of EBC at :
Khumbu Glacier - Mt. Everest - The Glaciers of the Himalayas
I tried to find where VF landed as per his video but failed! Nice to see a video as well as pictures, VF - I trust it was someone else holding the camera?

O&H,
Its there all right! From the default view pan straight in and down a bit.
There is a prominent line of yellow tents with a blue one amongst them just shy of the glacier flow.
Its towards the camera from there.
Landing up there = "cojones"

Have you been using cell phone camera VF as the quality of pictures are not very clear. Many admirers here on the forum including me would not mind chipping for a camera for all the super pictures that you have shared with us.
Happy flying, safe landing!

Ah, tractors and helicopters are alike in that they both appear to defy the laws of physics. Helicopters by remaining airborne, and tractors by moving the immovable.
I do hope those munchkins in the picture didn't just smoke that packet of cigarettes!
