(220501) -- LHASA, May 1, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Aerial photo taken on May 1, 2022 shows a view of the Mount Qomolangma base camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters. Chinese scientists are mounting efforts to establish a meteorological monitoring station at an altitude of 8,800 meters on Mount Qomolangma, the world's highest peak, on the China-Nepal border. If the station is established successfully, it will replace the one at an altitude of 8,430 meters set up by the British and U.S. scientists on the south side of the mountain in 2019, to be the world's highest of its kind, according to the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research (ITP), Chinese Academy of Sciences.
