珠峰登山季過后，留下8000公斤排泄物

Campaigners say about 8000 kilograms of human waste has been on Mt Everest during this year's record climbing season.

活動人士表示，在今年的登山季，珠穆朗瑪峰上大約有8000公斤的人類排泄物。

"The biggest problem and concern now on Everest is human waste," says former Nepal Mountaineering president Ang Tshering.

尼泊爾前登山運動主席Ang Tshering說:“目前珠穆朗瑪峰最大的問題和擔(dān)憂是人類排泄物。”

The revelations come after a horror season on the mountain. Last month, 11 climbers were killed within two weeks as queues of hundreds of people formed in what was being called the "death zone".

珠峰經(jīng)歷了一個恐怖的登山節(jié)之后，這些消息被曝光了。上個月，11名登山者在兩周內(nèi)死亡，數(shù)百人在所謂的“死亡地帶”排隊登山。

Now campaigners say the amount of human waste on the mountain is threatening local drinking water.

The Nepalese government says it's devising a plan for climbers to pay a $4000 deposit before going up the mountain.
