The deaths were caused by an ice-fall avalanche in the Khumbu Icefall.[1] The icefall, which lies between Base Camp and Camp I, has been the site of numerous fatalities, including those in the 2014 Mount Everest ice avalanche.[2] The Sherpas were assisting the Japanese Skiing Expedition, which included Yuichiro Miura, the first person to ski down Everest.[3] Their names were Mima Norbu, Nima Dorje, Tshering Tarkey, Pasang, Kunga Norbu, and Kami Tshering.[4] Another death occurred in the Japanese expedition four days later when Kyak Tsering was killed by ice falling from a serac.[3]
