A yak finds his way back to camp at the Fourth Lake, above Gokyo (4,750m), Khumbu, Nepal. Yaks and Sherpa hold a symbiotic relationship. Each animal is known by name and can be ‘part of the family’ for more than two decades. Sherpa respect and highly value their yaks, who provide a source of transport and milk while alive, then meat and materials (skin, fur, bone) after death / Nikon D70S, F20, 1/160, ISO 200, 40 mm
