Government meeting on Everest at over 5200 meters of altitude!
With oxygen masks and hot coats, Nepalese Prime Minister and about 20 ministers have arrived by helicopter in the place from where start all expeditions, on the highest mountain in the world. The gesture was made to draw attention to the dangers of global warming. Everest is vulnerable to climate change and experts say that glaciers could melt completely in just a few decades.
