A VIDEO CLIP ABOUT MOUNT EVEREST
PERIOD 113 Unit 9: NATURE IN DANGER

Thanks to Mt. Everest, tourism in Nepal (located between China and India) has exploded over the past few decades. Now in the spring and fall, quite a lot of tourists attempt to climb Mt. Everest.
However, Mt. Everest is now known as the world’s highest junkyard. It is losing its attraction to many climbers since the higher up they climb, the more garbage they see.
Not surprisingly, the increase of adventurers has led to an increase in the amount of garbage, especially along the most popular route to the summit – the Southeast Ridge. Once climbers reach the height above 7,800 meters, they need oxygen bottles, as the atmosphere provides them with only two-thirds of the oxygen they would be breathing in at sea level. Without enough oxygen, people lose their ability to think clearly and may even hallucinate. Besides, climbers also bring with them canisters containing fuel to cook their meals. In addition, batteries used for flashlights or radios and the food stored in plastic bags or cans are what they need for survival. Many climbers leave all the used bottles, canisters, batteries, plastic bags, or cans behind as they climb up or down.
