WOW

Awesome shot. I think that it's of Pumori which is a bit west of Everest.

I think I found Waldo.

In the yellow tent.

I at first thought the yellow and black/blue was rock or boulders......until I zoomed.

Heard about this on NPR yesterday- it's stitched together from a kajillion individual shots. Thanks!

I saw that on washingtonpost.com yesterday and spent a half an hour looking at it. Amazing. Very inhospitable looking place

NPR has some other stuff on it- the tent village is pretty wild

We sure have managed to trash it over the decades. But then, I s'pose that shouldn't surprise me...we seem to be able to trash the most remote places imaginable.

50 tons of trash, not counting the bodies. Unbelievable.

Good on the Sherpas for trying to clean that mess up.
