Video: Large Avalanche Observed from Everest Base Camp

Share on Social

No one was injured in this avalanche. In 2015, however, an earthquake-triggered avalanche killed 24 sherpas and climbers in the area. Luckily, this avalanche didn't have a comparably tragic outcome, though the cloud of snow which swept through the camp is certainly spooky.

The avalanche appears to start on the southern flank of Pumori, a 7,161m peak located just north of Base Camp.
