Description

The summit of Mount Everest―the very best place on Earth. Could it be conquered? Could a climber literally stand on top of the world? Nobody had ever reached the summit and returned alive. Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay wanted to be the primary. Not far from the highest, before their final hours of mountain climbing, team photographer Alfred Gregory snapped a picture of Hillary and Norgay, with the imposing Himalayas spread out at the back of them. It used to be the very best photograph any person in human history had ever taken. With a click of his camera shutter in Might 1953, Gregory opened up a hidden world for the remainder of humanity to share.
