This photo shows Mount Everest from an aerial view taken over Nepal. Climbers attempting to scale the world's highest peak now have access to high-speed Internet near its 17,000-foot base camp, the last gathering point on the journey to the top.You can't get away from a cell phone call, even at the top of the world.  Thanks to 3G towers newly installed near Mount Everest's base camp, explorers can surf the Web, tweet and post Facebook updates without worrying that their signals will disappear into thin air.
