Hundreds of climbers have been captured in striking images queuing to reach the summit of the highest mountain in the world.
Photographs taken from the snowy mountain showed adventurers in their orange protective gear forming a snaking queue to the peak on May 18.
The long line of climbers wound from Camp 4 to the summit, with the brave climbers huddling in the high winds.
'According to the Department of Tourism, over 500 climbers, including Sherpa guides, have successfully summited Everest so far this spring season,' the Everest Chronicle reported.
Many more climbers continued on throughout the rest of last week.
