We’ve gotten a lot of email since our gigapixel image of Mount Everest went viral last December. Some people have questions - which new camera to buy, or what type of lenses we use - while others wish to congratulate us on our achievement. Many simply have stories to share from their time on the mountain. We truly appreciate each and every message, but certain notes have a way of standing out in our minds. Here is one such tale.
We so admire Vittorio Sella and the crisp, breathtaking images captured during his many expeditions. Sella’s timeless photography provides a base for our work in the Karakoram - the Western Himalaya - which has the largest collection of 8,000m peaks in the world. Read more about Sella and other pioneering alpine photographers on our “Team” page at http://www.glacierworks.org/the-team/.
