Sir Edmund Hillary's Sagarmatha

More about the book

This large-format hardback book of superb colour photographs portrays the grandeur and beauty of Sagarmatha - Mount Everest - and the Himalaya, compiled and written by world-famous mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary. The images include close-ups of Sherpa life, aerial views of the Everest Massif, along with birds, butterflies, and brilliant sunsets. An extraordinary variety of people with close connections to Everest were invited by Sir Edmund Hillary to contribute to this book. They were asked to give photographs that portray the spirit or capture a special moment in the Khumbu that was personally important to them.
