Nepal is moving the Everest base camp off of the melting Khumbu glacier, the BBC <\/em>reported<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Research<\/a> shows that the Khumbu glacier is rapidly thinning<\/a> as a result of the changing climate. \u201cWe see increased rock falls and movement of melt-water on the surface of the glaciers that can be hazardous,\u201d Scott Watson, a researcher at the University of Leeds who studies glaciers, told the BBC<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The current base camp location is becoming destabilized by the ice melt and is no longer safe. Climbers say cracks appear in the ground overnight, and guides say they expect more avalanches and ice falls at the current location going forward. The new base camp will be around 200 to 400 meters lower in altitude \u2014 and in a spot where there isn\u2019t year-round ice. <\/p>\n

Climate change isn\u2019t the only contributing factor, though: the sheer number of people passing through the base camp adds to the destabilization. \u201cFor instance, we found that people urinate around 4,000 liters at the base camp every day,\u201d Khimlal Gautam, a member of the committee that recommended the move, told the BBC<\/em>. \u201cAnd the massive amount of fuels like kerosene and gas we burn there for cooking and warming will definitely have impacts on the glacier\u2019s ice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conditions on Everest are rapidly deteriorating overall, not just at the base camp. Other glaciers are melting<\/a>, losing ice in a few years that took hundreds of years to develop. It\u2019s making the climb more dangerous<\/a>. The melting is also revealing<\/a> the frozen, dead bodies of past climbers and piles of garbage. <\/p>\n

Nepal\u2019s tourism department still has to discuss plans for the move with local stakeholders, including local communities who might be affected by the shift. But if all goes as planned, base camp could move by 2024. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
