Edmund Hillary Summits Everest
“The summit of Everest, May 29, 1953. Hillary and Tenzing Norgay stand together on the small snow dome at the top of the world. Foreground shows Tenzing planting four flags on an ice axe as Hillary photographs him; midground reveals oxygen cylinders strapped to their packs and goggled faces frosted with rime; the Himalayan range falls away into Tibet under a brilliant blue sky.”
