mountain facing the Everest. It is a solar-powered camera and set at
18618 feet (5675 metres). The webcam can withstand temperature as low
as minus 30 degrees Celsius and operates from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Web
cam will send live images of Mount Everest back to scientists studying
the effect of climate change on the planet's tallest peak. Earlier,
scientists had set up a webcam at the base camp of Mount Aconcagua in
Argentina.
The German surveillance firm Mobotix developed the device and it was
installed by the mountain research group, Giampietro Kohl of
EV-K2-CNR.
