Daylight sighting of yeti crossing glacier in the Himalayas
Account
While backpacking alone in a remote area of Nepal, the witness watched from a hilltop as a large brownish bipedal creature emerged from brush and crossed a glacier below over several minutes before entering brush on the far side. The witness took a photo that came out overexposed and showed only an unclear dark shape. The witness did not descend to the glacier due to breathing difficulty and dense terrain.
