Mount Everest Doesn’t Look All That Big When You See It From Space

Thanks to my wee brother for sending me this link: http://theadventureblog.blogspot.co.nz/2012/12/photo-everest-from-orbit.html

The Atlantic ran this photo which was recently shot from the International Space Station giving us all a glimpse of Everest as viewed from orbit. They also ran a story that claims that “Mount Everest Doesn’t Look All That Big When You See It From Space.”

Looking at the photo – it still looks like a huge challenge to me. This is a great shot of the Himalaya captured from high above with my 2013 mountaineering objective, Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak right at the center.
