I spent a climbing season at Everest Base Camp to work on a story about how the experience of climbing Everest changes people. As well as seeing the change the climbers went through on their journey up the mountain I also experienced base camp in lots of different weather.

One morning towards the end of April I woke to a milky white sky and the glacier dusted with snowfall. I loved the contrast of the heavily crevassed and boulder strewn landscape intermingled with the tangled web of colourful tents and prayer flags scattered across the glacier. The image perfectly symbolised the stark and remote beauty of one of the most hostile places on earth.
