Summiteers' Summit To Save the Himalayas

On the 4th of December, 2009, Nepal's top politicians followed in the footsteps of the Maldives' underwater cabinet meeting by strapping on oxygen tanks to highlight the dangers of Global Warming. Unlike the Maldives' meeting, however, this one was not held 20 feet (6m) below water, but 17,192 feet (5,250 meters) above it, in the thin air of Mount Everest.
