Mount Everest webcam Mount Everest webcam The Mount Everest webcam was a camera located on Kala Patthar, a mountain in the Nepalese Himalaya, at an altitude of . The webcam captured video footage of the summit of Mount Everest and was the highest webcam in the world. It was installed by Italian scientists as part of the Everest Share 2011 research project by the Nepalese Ev-K2-CNR team, which was intended to gather information regarding climate change by working together with the Everest weather station. As of 2018, the camera is no longer operating. The camera was an M12-type model made by the German-based
Mount Everest 30.4 W/m. The project was orchestrated by Stations at High Altitude for Research on the Environment (SHARE), which also placed the Mount Everest webcam in 2011. The solar-powered weather station is on the South Col. One of the issues facing climbers is the frequent presence of high-speed winds. The peak of Mount Everest extends into the upper troposphere and penetrates the stratosphere, which can expose it to the fast and freezing winds of the jet stream. In February 2004 a wind speed of was recorded at the summit and winds over are common. These winds can blow climbers off Everest.
