Mt. Everest
Imagine taking a journey to the mighty Himalayas. You arrive in Kathmandu,
Nepal and see Mt. Everest looming above you. After setting up camp, you
climb across ice fields, creep across 1,000-feet crevasses and scale walls
of rock, ice and snow. Your breath freezes when it hits the thin air. When
you finally reach the top, you take in a view that only a few hundred people
have seen before you.
You may not be able to go there in person, but you can virtually climb Mt.
Everest. Others have have recorded their trek in detail:
