Video | 'The ground is shaking', video shows Everest camp swamped by deadly avalanche

Watch: Harrowing moments as avalanche descends on Mt. Everest base camp (Warning: Video contains strong language)

A video clip has emerged online that appears to show the terrifying moment a climbers’ camp in Everest is ripped apart by a massive avalanche triggered by the deadly Nepal earthquake.     

In the footage, published on YouTube under the title “Hit by Avalanche in Everest Basecamp 25.04.2015”, a climber is heard saying “the ground is shaking”, seconds before he and about a dozen others ducked for safety as a wall of snow headed for the camp.

The climber was then seen digging himself out of the snow a minute later, and the camp itself is shown as half-buried.
