Pam Lynch, Poor Visibility in the Himalayas (November theme: Bad Weather)

This photo was taken at Gorek Shep, nearly 5,500 metres above sea level in April this year, from here it's a couple of hours trekking to Everest Base Camp. These people were waiting for a helicopter to ferry them back down the mountain but the weather was not cooperating - they had to wait till the following day.
