Streik der Sherpas

So sieht es am Mount Everest aus, wenn die Bergsteiger ausbleiben



Seit im April bei einem Lawinenunglück 16 Sherpas ums Leben kamen, streiken die meisten der nepalesischen Bergführer, ohne die eine Ersteigung des Everest kaum möglich ist. Der Bergsteig-Tourismus ist in der Folge praktisch zum Erliegen gekommen. Was das für die Region bedeutet, hat Reuters-Fotograf Fotograf Navesh Chitrakar versucht in Bildern festzuhalten.

Mount Ama Dablam, which stands approximately 6800 meters above sea level, is seen behind Khumjung Village in Solukhumbu District April 30, 2014. More than 4,000 climbers have reached the summit of Everest, the world's highest peak, since it was first scaled by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa in 1953. In April, an avalanche killed 16 Nepali Sherpa guides who were fixing ropes and ferrying supplies for their foreign clients to climb the 8,850-metre (29,035-foot) peak. The accident - the deadliest in the history of Mount Everest - triggered a dispute between sherpa guides who wanted a climbing ban in honour of their colleagues and the Nepali government that refused to close the mountain. The sherpas staged a boycott, forcing hundreds of foreign climbers to call off their bids to climb Everest.  Picture taken April 30, 2014.

Life-Hacks aus der Ära des Alkoholverbots: So einfallsreich waren die Schmuggler während der Prohibition

Aufstrecken, wer weiss, was hier abgeht!

Tja, das, verehrte Damen und Herren, sind Vertreter der Polizeibehörde von Los Angeles beim Inspizieren eines beschlagnahmten Fahrzeuges, das einem Alkoholschmuggler gehörte. Zeitpunkt: Irgendwann während der langen, schmerzhaften Ära der Prohibition. 

Und ebendiese Alkoholschmuggler und Schnapsbrenner – im Volksmund Bootleggers genannt – zeigten sich zunehmend erfinderisch, wenn es darum ging, ihre illegale Ware an den Augen des Gesetzes …
