This is an excellent website http://explore.glacierworks.org/ that allows you and your class to explore the mountains of the Himalayas. It is a multimedia resource with maps, panoramic photos and videos.Visitors to the site can take a virtual trek to the Everest Base Camp, visiting many well known places along the way like Lukla, Namche Bazaar and Gorak Shep. It would provide an excellent introduction to glacial retreat and climate change.
