22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Journey Across the Frozen Vastness

At the edge of Everest Base Camp, adventurers stand in awe before the Khumbu Glacier, a frozen river of time stretching into the embrace of towering Himalayan giants. Its shimmering ice, carved by centuries, reflects the quiet power and beauty of nature. This moment, where the human spirit meets the sublime, captures the essence of exploration and reverence for the world’s most iconic peaks.
