Experience Everest With This Ethereal Time Lapse

Mount Everest is one of the world's most legendary locations, yet so few get to experience its majesty in person. Thanks to one climber and videographer, however, the rest of us can get a pretty incredible look at the ethereal beauty of one of the world's tallest mountains.

Elia Saikaly shot the time lapse video you see below from Everest's base camp and posted it to Vimeo this week. The montage's images of swirling clouds, craggy peaks, jagged ice and colorful climbers' tents are nothing short of breathtaking. Check Saikaly's stellar work out for yourself below, then let us know what you think in the comments.
