Comment on New solar carport opens at 4,300 meters on Mount Everest
sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 5 days agoRemember that the 14 tallest peaks in the world are over 8 km from sea level. So 4,300m is definitely not near the summit.
The article really sucks on details, but some quick googling tells me that the two base camps are above 5,100m, so this must be below even that.

It’s just a bad headline, I think it’s on highway G318 in Tibet, so you might be able to see Everest from there but you’re probably not starting a hike from the charging station.
