*View from Mount Everest !*
This fullscreen 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 was no 271 since 1953. He made, as
far as I know, the only 360 degree panorama from the top.
*Roderick Mackenzie made the image at the top of Mount Everest on
May 24 1989. Below , in his own words,are his feelings of the event*
