Everest '99 South Side Photo Gallery

[GO BACK]

Some years ago, in the aftermath of the "Is K2 higher than Everest?" fiasco, the Italians built a research facility at Lobuche for scientists to pursue high altitude projects. In the last two years they have opened a lodge to visitors, which is a considerable improvement on the squalid tea-houses at the main Lobuche settlement. Here Peter Pilafian, the documentary director for the expedition, poses in front of the facility. —Charles Corfield (Sunday, April 4, 1999)
