News that the base camp for Mount Everest is being moved because it is literally on a melting glacia where crevasses keep appearing. They are moving to dry land with no ice. Tom wonders if one day, Everest will have no snow or ice and it will be a gentle stroll to the top like Mount Snowdon .. |

"They're getting less snowy, not less steep.
There's a shitload more to climbing everest than popping on some snow shoes and gloves...."
In earlier times they wore ts and didn't Brian Blessed conquer it without oxygen....
It's training that is needed |

"Yes, the ice is melting. No, it won't be a gentle stroke like snowdon, the Himalayas and Everest are getting higher
If sea levels rise then surely Everest will be lower "
The Himalayas are being formed by two giant plates colliding so they are getting higher. |

No, because Everest is not measured at sea level. You are already at a very high altitude at the base of the mountain.
Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain from base to peak at more than 33,500 feet [10,210 meters]....so sea levels come into play here, but not with Everest. |
