In
this morning photograph the Everest Massif
with its many peaks is just right of center.
Mt. Everest itself has two peaks, Everest

8,748 m). In the north within the group
is Changtse (24,803', 7,560 m), in the
northwest, Khumbutse (21,867', 6,665 m),
just to the south Lhotse (27,940', 8516
m) and in the southwest, Nuptse (25,791',
7,861 m). Mt. Everest is distinguishable
by having its entire left (west) side
in shadow.

visible as is the Nangpa La leading into
Tibet.
The main Sherpa village of Namche Bazaar
can be viewed as well as the Gokyo Valley
and the famous Ama Dablam.
To the west see Rolwaling with Gauri Shankar

of Kangchenjunga are in broad sunshine. |
