    A U.S. Marines military helicopter, appearing to be a UH-1Y Venom, is landed on a grassy mountain clearing with its rotors spinning. Several personnel in military attire are gathered near the aircraft, likely conducting a loading or unloading operation. The setting appears to be a high-altitude mountain valley with snow-capped peaks visible in the background, consistent with a Himalayan or similar mountain range environment.

    A U.S. Marine UH-1Y Huey brings supplies to Bigu, Nepal, May 8. U.S. Marines and Nepalese soldiers continue to deliver supplies to the rural areas of Nepal. The Nepalese government requested assistance from U.S. Agency for International Development after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck their country April 25. In response to the Nepal earthquake, the U.S. military sent Marines, Airmen, Soldiers and Sailors as part of Joint Task Force 505 at the direction of USAID. The U.S. Marine Corps continues to work hand-in-hand with the Nepalese government through USAID as part of Joint Task Force-505. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Mandaline Hatch/Released)
