Challenge of icy storm

Continuous rescue operation
According to the local administration, the rescue operation was started rapidly. By Monday afternoon, about 350 climbers were taken down safely, while the rest reached the safe place by Tuesday. The efficiency and fast of rescue team has been appreciated in this campaign.
Danger of hypothermia
According to China’s official news agency ‘Xinhua’, some climbers were suffering from hypothermia (dangerous drop in body temperature). Immediate medical assistance was provided to such climbers. Given the current situation, the Mount Everest Sightsee Sightsee has temporarily closed and all the activities related to mountaineering have been banned.
Mountaineering season in October
Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world, higher than 8,849 meters high. The month of October is considered to be the safest for climbing in Everest and its surrounding areas, as the temperature remains normal during this time and the sky remains clean. However, this time this area is suddenly facing the weather. This incident shows how much care is necessary for natural disasters, and the timely action of the rescue team has saved the lives of hundreds of people.
