How is there snow on the top of Mount Everest if it’s above the clouds?
In: Other
Simply, it’s not. Everest is around 29k feet. Clouds can go as high as 60k feet. Well above Everest. Also, a lot of it is glacier that probably formed when the mountains were lower. But Everest gets big snow storms up there.
Like this one, where they were caught in a blizzard trying to descend off the summit.
