Taweche Peak, terminal moraine of Khumbu Glacier, Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal, Asia

On a 1981 trek in the Mount Everest area, Tom Dempsey pauses for a self portrait at 15,400 feet elevation on the terminal moraine of the Khumbu Glacier across from Taweche Peak, Nepal, Asia. A row of stone monuments were built near here in memory of six Sherpas who were killed in an avalanche during the 1970 Japanese expedition to film "The Man Who Skied Down Everest." Sagarmatha National Park is honored by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
