Despite the beautiful weather, the views from the summit were somewhat limited by an unusual dusty haze filling the sky. I read later on that it was caused by a massive windstorm a few days earlier in the deserts of western China, which had blown red dust nearly halfway around the globe. However, the view looking down the north side was still spectacular. Here we see the tongue of the Eliot Glacier 5000 ft (1500 m) below us, flowing down between its prominent lateral moraines.
