    MOUNT EVEREST, Nepal -- Members of the United States Air Force 7 Summit Challenge Team navigate through the Khumbu Icefall during their expedition to the summit of Mount Everest. The Icefall is formed by the Khumbu Glacier. It's constant and unpredictable movement makes crossing the Icefall especially dangerous, often opening giant crevasses with little to no warning.
