According to NPR, the image is the result of a project by David Breashears, who has already climbed the highest mountain in the world five times. He used old images of Everest and its glaciers and combined them with new ones.

The photo is part of a broader project called by the mountaineer Breashears, who made the much-acclaimed IMAX documentary “Everest.”
His project aims to document the current state of glaciers in the Himalayas and how the mountain and those glaciers are being affected by climate change.

Everyone see the blue and yellow tent city below the first band of snow?

And zoom into the area I circled and see if you can find the four guys walking on the glacier.

In between the cleft between the mountains, there is an entire line of climbers heading up or down, tough to determine their direction.

Amazing picture.
