This interactive panorama image is a ridiculously large image. It’s also ridiculously captivating. I can’t believe how monumentally large that mountain is. Zooming in on the base camp tents at the center bottom of the image should give you a profound sense of scale. Mount Everest is the Earth’s highest mountain, with a peak at 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) above sea level. It is located in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas.

It’s always interesting to look at old photographs. Even though the quality doesn’t hold a candle to the modern ultra crisp HD images we can capture digitally, older photographs have such character. The people are fascinating as well. We can get a glimpse into the lives of ordinary Americans around the turn of the century. While some things never change, looking back on the culture of that time is incredible.
