Others will be able to fill in more detail as I'm just going off memory here, but I think this is taken from the Nepalese side. The ice field just above Base Camp (which, wow, look at all those tents) is the Khumbu Icefall, which climbers must scale to en route to the South Col.

I think it was taken from the Kala Patthar summit or somewhere close to there. (So, yes, the Nepalese side.)

  The view from Kala Patthar summit is pretty different angle, this picture must be taken from somewhere north of KP. I would guess it is from Pumori Advanced Base Camp.

    URL suggests you're right: EBC_Pumori EBC is presumably "Everest Base Camp."
