SUMMIT! On Top of the world

@emilyaharrington self portrait at the top of the the world - 8848m Mt Everest. What a climb it's been! @thenorthface #oneverest
by emilyaharrington(National Geographic) from Instagram
コンラッド隊(ナショナルジオグラフィック、ノースフェイス)はネパール時間8:15にエベレスト登頂した模様。
登頂が8:15(ネパール時間)、Instagram(@natgeo)へのupが10:30(ネパール時間)。
upしたのは頂上ではなく少し降りたサウスコルかな(ジオタグがサウスコルになってるので)。
それにしてもニュースメディアを通さずにダイレクトに写真を見れるのはいい。



National Geographicのサイトに追ってきれいな写真がたくさんupされるだろうけどこれまでの分を今のうちに何枚か拝借していつでも自分のブログで見れるようにしておく。
