Scientists believe Himalayas have shrunk after devastating Nepal earthquake

However, they believe the shrinkage will roughly be balanced by slow uplift due to tectonic activity.
And they have yet to analyse satellite images of the region in which Everest is located - and they still don't how tall the world's tallest mountain is.
