This lets you zoom, move left to right, ect..

Very beautiful photo, independently of the zooming & panning! ;-)

thats insane

ghee!.........

Burrrr, now I'm cold :)

That's really cool

the resolution when zooming is amazing!

Takes a while looking around but there are several groups of people on the way up/down.

What kind of stuff would people use for this? I'd love to get some hotties in a nice background and do the same thing

Something like that will eventually be used to map the world.

ocean photos will be a bore.

Isn't Everest the one that is off in the back to the left in that picture? The one that appears to not be snow capped, or is this just an odd angle?

Wow, those new iphone 5 cameras are awesome.

Man this is great

There are loads of people there if you zoom into the the Glazier on the left hand side you can see loads of guys and then if you zoom right into the V in the middle of the Glazier you can see people on their way up there too..

Really impressive photo

Cool :thumbsup

I wish there was something in the picture to gibe a sense of scale.

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

Not much snow there anymore I notice...

who can spot the naked chick?

I zoomed in so close I found Noah's Ark, but then my PC crashed :Oh crap

Would be great if they had some kind of markers on it.

Super cool pic

Wow, spent some time looking at it.

say cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I only found a tranny...

Shit, I found another one of these last night of an actual city (Dubai) and now I can't find the damn link.

Hundreds of tents - crazy fucks!

They have hookers up there!

Base camp on the Chinese side of Mount Everest has come to resemble a wild-west frontier town, according to the author of a forthcoming book.

Drugs and prostitutes are available in the camp village that has grown up to serve mountaineers climbing the peak, according to US author and mountaineer Michael Kodas.

and theft is a major problem...

At the first time I thought, it's garbage :1orglaugh

You can totally see George Mallory's corpse.

:thumbsup:thumbsup
You can see me at the top!

What an amazing pic!

Mount Everest has the population of a small town! They might as well build a hotel.

Actually that is not Mt. Everest. It is an image of the Khumbu Glacier, which is nearby.

Everest is in there someplace but the thing is centered around Pumori. Look at the URL and you will see that I am correct!

And sorry to bust your fucking bubbles......but.........

"This gigapixel image of the Khumbu glacier was captured by David Breashears during the spring of 2012, from the Pumori viewpoint near Mount Everest. The Khumbu Icefall is clearly visible here, and one can easily see the hustle and bustle of Everest Base Camp below."

:2 cents:

Fuck, I've gotta get a new camera.

Pretty cool

nexus 7 check mate

Holy Fuck.

Fifty bucks on Paxum to anyone who locates a hot Parisian bebe naked in her window!
