Footage has emerged of the moment an avalanche swept into Everest Base Camp after a powerful earthquake hit Nepal.
German climber Jost Kobusch was filming the lower slopes of the world's highest mountain when a mass of snow rushed in with a force described as being like a "nuclear blast".
The mountaineer is seen running for cover in his tent before being enveloped in a blanket of icy material.
Mr Kobusch is heard saying "hold on to my jacket" as the wind threatens to blow his colleague away.
Both are believed to have escaped serious injury but 18 other climbers are known to have died.
