    View from Mount Everest

    THE VIEW FROM MOUNT EVEREST:
    360 DEGREES.
    BREATHTAKING !
    SPECTACULAR!

    This full screen panorama was published in connection with the 50 year anniversary in May 2003, in honor of the first two men who reached the top of Everest 50 years ago on May 29,1953. The top of Mount Everest was reached for the first time by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
    Since then 1,200-1,500 have climbed to the top. Nobody knows the exact number. More than 140 climbers have died on the way.

    On May 24,1989 the Australian photographer and mountaineer, Roderick Mackenzie, reached the summit. He made, as far as I know, the only 360 degree panorama from the top.

    Wow!

    Death thought about it.

    Wom,

    That is amazing!! I have always been fascinated by Everest, Sir Edmund and Tenzig Norgay. Read so many books on it (and them). I have a friend, Michael Kodas, who climbed Everest and wrote a book about it. I couldn't put it down!

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02
    Mollie Rose, you were there for me through good times and in bad, from the beginning.Your passing will leave a hole in my heart.We will be together "One Fine Day". 1994-2009
    MooShoo,you left me too soon.I wasn't ready.Know that you were my soulmate and have left me broken hearted.I loved you like no other. 1999 - 2010See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
    Maya Linn, my heart is broken. The day your beautiful blue eyes went blind was the worst day of my life.I only wish I could've done something.I'll miss your "premium" purr and our little "conversations". 1997-2013 See you again "ONE FINE DAY"

    DO NOT BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE!!

    Nope - I saw him too. He stood out like a sore thumb (red) in that red jacket, even tho he was small.
