And, if this time lapse encourages you to give a shot at climbing Mount Everest, here's another good news: The fees to climb Mount Everest has been recently slashed. According to Madhusudan Burlakoti, head of Nepal's Department of Mountains, fees beginning next will be $11,000 per climber as compared to $25,000 per climber now.

Experience the beauty of Mt. Everest at night in time-lapse. While most climbers slept, I attempted to capture some of the magic that the Himalayan skies have to offer while climbing to the top of the world.
Here's a bit of what I endured at the end to make this possible: http://www.eliasaikaly.com/2013/05/into-the-death-zone/
One of the most rewarding parts of the journey was being able to share it with thousands of students on http://www.findinglife.ca
