Kanadski avanturista Elija Sajkali slikao je jedan zastrašujuć prizor na vrhu Himalaja.

Naime, već danima se piše kako je na putu ka Mont Everestu nastala velika gužva zbog čega je 11 planinara preminulo za samo 9 dana. Redovi su po njih bili kobni zbog nedovoljno kiseonika.

Na slici se vidi mrtvi alpinista koji je konopcima i dalje bio vezan za stazu koja vodi do vrha Everesta.

High on the Hillary Step on May 23rd, video camera in hand, just beneath the top of the world. . We passed over 60 people during the night and arrived to the south summit just after sunrise. The skies suddenly opened up, the mist and cloud cover burned away and all of the splendor and glory of the world beneath our feet became visible. The Hillary Step was in plain sight and our team of climbers approached the final crux beneath the top of the world. . The sub zero temperatures and low oxygen level in the atmosphere had taken their toll on all of us. Minds hypoxic, extremities nearly numb, we all pressed on through the life or death situation. . The early morning light had revealed the gateway to the summit of Everest and in parallel a human being who had lost his life. Here we all were, chasing a dream and beneath our very feet there was a lifeless soul. Is this what Everest has become? . As I documented the team climbing the iconic step, my mind raced and empathized with every person who struggled to stay alive while undoubtedly questioning their own humanity, ethics and integrity. . This poor human being perched 7000ft above the Western CWM for everyone to observe was a reminder of each of our own mortality. Was this the 'Dream of Everest' we all imagined? . My heart bled for the family and loved ones and at the same time I was conscious of the necessity to continue to move. At nearly 9000m above sea level, there is no choice but to carry on. . Who is responsible here? The individuals? The companies? The Government? Is it time to enforce new rules? Will things ever change? What's the solution here? . With great sadness, as the cues pushed onwards and upwards, so did we, as did over 200 people that day. . I deeply apologize for the sensitivity of this post, but I feel we have a responsibility to inform aspiring future climbers of the seriousness of this undertaking while creating a dialogue around how to make safer, more responsible and more ethical choices with how we approach climbing to the top of the world. . To those that lost their lives this season may their souls Rest In Peace. . #Everest #everest2019 #LineUps #HillaryStep #Tragedy ? by @sherpapk

"Ovaj jadan čovek tamo visi, 2.130 metara iznad tzv. 'Doline tišine', svi mogu da ga vide i podsete se da je smrtnost uvek iza ugla. Je li ovo 'San o Everestu' koji smo zamišljali", napisao je Sajkali, koji je prošlog četvrtka, 23. maja, na Everestu snimao četiri Arapkinje koje su se toga dana penjale na planinu.

"Prošli smo pored oko 60 ljudi tokom noći i došli do vrha tik posle izlaska sunca. Temperatura je bila ispod nule, a nivo kiseonika veoma nizak. Sunce je obasjalo put ka vrhu i videli smo čoveka koji je preminuo.

What’s next for us? The Lhotse Face and Camp 3. . Thousands of feet of sheer vertical ice, Lhotse is the gateway to Mt. Everest on the South Side in Nepal. Just a few weeks ago, the face was crystal smooth. Thanks to Madison Mountaineering and the Sherpa fixing team, safety ascent and descent lines have been installed to assist everyone accessing the upper part of the mountain all the way to the summit. . In this photo you can see the Yellow Band and the Geneva Spur. Two iconic obstacles we must overcome to reach the South Col of Mt. Everest. . Today, we sit at camp 2, monitoring the wind and weather patterns, ready to move or hold back, all pending the weather forecasts. . Summiting Everest comes down to a number of factors, some you can control others you cannot. Timing your ascent to coincide with the right weather window is everything. You can have done everything right and if you get this detail wrong it will shut your entire operation down, force you back and abandon your dream. . You make choices every day. The culmination of your choices lead you to success or failure. The choice of your Everest logistical outfitter IS the key to your success. In our case, I’m incredibly confident in @madisonmtng and the entire Nepalese team that makes the magic happen behind the scenes. . I’ll do my best to keep you all updated as we get closer to the top of the world. . . . #Everest #Mountaineering #summit #Everest2019 #adventure #travel #nature #photography #explore #wanderlust #EarthCapture #instagood #mountains #travelphotography #beautiful #sky #travelgram #hiking #outdoors #naturephotography #winter #sunset #instatravel #trip #timelapse #astrophotography #night #RemeberingDad

Iako mi ga je bilo žao kao i njegove porodice, znao sam da moram da

nastavim dalje. Na 900 metara iznad nivoa mora, nemate drugog izbora. Ko je ovde odgovoran? Pojedinci, kompanije? Vlada? Šta je ovde rešenje", upitao se kanadski planinar.

Zbog novonastalih događaja, vlasti Nepala su pod udarom svetske javnosti. Nepalski zvaničnici odbacili su optužbe da je za povećan broj žrtava na Mont Everestu isključivi krivac prevelika gužva, odnosno, previše planinara na vrhu.

Direktor odeljenja za turizam Dandu Ras Gimir rekao je da je potrebno sagledati i druge aspekte kao što su loši vremenski uslovi.

Fotografija Nirmala Purje pokazala je kolike se gužve stvaraju na ovom mestu.
