Photos by @renan_ozturk / I've got jitters as I set free a big Nat Geo Expedition Studios film collaboration, The Ghosts Above, which documents the behind the scenes efforts of a project on Mount Everest. See @renan_ozturk for more from the roof of the world. Meanwhile, these words describe my experience (as heard in the film):

Back at high camp,
8,300 meters
A place of shredded tents and wind-strewn garbage,
The Earth’s highest dump, just below its highest cemetery.
The scene is so dystopian, so eerie, it feels like I’m on an alien planet.
That has just had its apocalypse.
The rest of the team has gone on without me.
I’m oddly at peace,
Maybe it’s the satisfaction of doing something I never thought I’d do.
In a place I never thought I’d see.
Or maybe it’s the privilege I feel, to stand on the shoulder of the mother goddess of the mountains, and look out at the world.
I never wanted to be here,
Alone in the death zone,
Surrounded by ghosts,
But it’s so strangely beautiful, I can’t make myself leave.
