Sannur Cave was discovered in the 1980s after blasting in a quarry created an entrance. It is 10 km (10 mi) southeast of the city of Beni Suef. It has only one chamber which is about 700 m (2,300 ft) long and 15 m (50 ft) in diameter. It is a limestone cave overlaid with alabaster created by thermal springs. Its unique geology and beautiful formations of stalactites and stalagmites led it to being recognized as a Protected Area in 1992 #iregipto #egyptpassion #egypt #sannur #cave #beni #benisuef #limestone #protectedareas #geology (at Beni Suef) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6oYCkknSsa/?igshid=1jdnr77ial2kn

Everest Base Camp is set on the world's highest Glacier - the Khumbu Glacier, a moving river of solid ice, slowly carving its way down through the valley.

Exactly one year ago today we arrived at Everest Base Camp. After trekking for days we stood in the shadow of the highest point on Earth, Mount Everest (8,848m) - And the Goddess is nothing short of beautiful.

Walking down the golden stairs is easy heading down hill, but can be at times a good challenge on the return (this is not a loop track). Hikers are presented with sweeping spectacular views across the valley on either side of the track.
