Explanation: What would it be like to stand atop the tallest mountain
on Earth? To see a full panoramic vista from there, scroll right.
Visible are snow peaked mountains near and far, tremendous cliffs,
distant plateaus, the tops of clouds, and a dark blue sky. Mt. Everest
stands 8.85 kilometers above sea level, roughly the maximum height
reached by international airplane flights, but much less than the
300 kilometers achieved by a space
