360 degree panoramic view from the top of Mt. Everest.

Watch out for altitude sickness.

That's so intensely cool, luna. I hope those climbers you see for a moment are with his party, though, because if I got to the top of Mt Everest and it was crowded I'd be pretty fucking pissed. :brooding:

Beautiful. Truly beautiful. I feel calm just looking at it.

Do you have Quicktime installed, Moose? You can download it for free here (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html) but they bundle it with iTunes nowadays, just fyi.

Oh wow!!!!!!

Wouldn't it be cool to meet and have a forum party up there?

With oxygen cylinders of course ;)

Cool indeed!

Sadly, I read an article not too long ago which made the point that Everest and other such peaks are getting too crowded, and there's talk about limiting access. One of the biggest problems, alas, is the trash people tend to leave behind.

Cheers,

They also have a "Matterhorn At The Top" page too. Very cool.

Spin the panorama faster, and you'll feel rillyrilly dizzy. :giggle:

I was thinking it would make me dizzy until I discovered the control buttons, then it just made me feel calm. I was in need of that earlier today...

I heard that recently. Toilet paper and human feces being one of the biggest problems. Apparently people don't want to carry their poop out when they leave.

Poop or no poop, awesome views, though.
