A webcam has been installed at the world’s highest point to get live view
of Mt. Everest to study more accurately the effects of climate change on the tallest peak.
 
Now scientist can monitor images across the internet.The scientists have installed the
 webcam at Kalapatthar, near the base camp of Mt. Everest, at an altitude of 5,675 metres
 to study the effects of climate change more accurately.
 
The solar powered camera installed by the scientists will withstand temperatures as
low as minus 30 degree Celsius and operate during the daytime.Now the image and data
of the 8,848 metres peak can accessed directly through Internet.
 
The image taken by the camera is updated every five minutes.
The camera also allows climatologists to track the movement of the clouds around the mountain’s peak.
 
“Researchers selected Kala Patthar as the camera location because it offers an excellent
 view of the western side of Mount Everest, including the north and southwest faces of the
 mountain and the West Ridge,” Mobotix spokesperson said in a statement.
