![CLOUDS SURROUNDING EVEREST - NEPAL [3502 NE] I was descending 18,192 foot (5545 meters) Kala Pattar when I noticed the clouds part just enough to show Everest's summit (back left). I quickly threw down my bag, pulled out my camera, and shot two black and white photos (this and the next one), using two different lenses. Then I changed the film and took the same with color. Within minutes, the summit was gone. Sometimes taking photographs in the mountains is more exhausting than hiking in them!](../imgThmb/3502_NE_MV.jpg)
![MOUNT EVEREST - NEPAL [3501 NE] Mount Everest, at 29,035 feet, is the highest mountain in the world and is located on the Nepal/Tibet border. It was named in 1865 after Sir George Everest, the British surveyor general of India. The Nepalese name for the mountain is Sagarmatha, which means Goddess of the Sky. The Tibetan name is Chomolungma, which means Mother Goddess of the Universe. I'd like to climb it and if you'd like to pay for it, please let me know.](../imgThmb/3501_NE_O.jpg)
