50 years ago today, May 29 1953, the top of Mount Everest was reached for the first time by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. Since then 1.200-1.500 has climbed the top. Nobody knows the exact number. More than 140 climbers died on the way.
On May 24, 1989 the Australian photographer and mountaineer Roderick Mackenzie reached the summit. He was no 271 since 1953 He made which as far as I know is the only 360 degree panorama From the top. You can experience this by clicking here.
