New Video Case Study Showcases How Advanced Drone Technology is Making Mountaineering Safer SHENZHEN, China, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today released new long surveying footage of the Khumbu Icefall on Mount Everest (Mount Qomolangma). Presented as a video case study, Nepalese drone company Airlift Technology showcases their aerial surveying operations at altitudes above 6,000 meters and temperatures below -20°C. The workflow included three components: aerial data collection with a DJI Matrice 4E, 3D model generation with DJI Terra, and day-by-day comparative analysis. With these high-precision 3D models, icefall doctors knew the locations of every crevasse, surface displacement, and serac between Base Camp and Camp 1 – before ever stepping onto the ice. "With DJI drone technology, we can create a 3D model of the Khumbu Icefall that helps the Sherpas and icefall doctors locate crevasses and plan the route - without climbing the icefall first," said Raj Bikram Maharjan, CEO of Airlift Technology.
