Everest and Dolomites in 3D

Ever wanted to check out Everest close-up? Explore the route through the Khumbu icefall? See how steep it is to climb up the South Face to the Western Cwm before continuing up to the summit of Everest? Or examine the difficult Second Step on the North Face route and the worrying Hornbein Couloir? Well thanks to a new 3D map this is all possible, without the need for supplementary oxygen and from the comfort of your own home.

The 3D RealityMap is free and is the result of high resolution satellite images of the Mount Everest region and transformed into a 3D visualization of the highest mountain in the world. A similar technology has been used successfully in the past in other areas, such as the Italian Dolomites where aerial photos have been used to provide nigh milimeter precision. So after having checked out Chomalunga from the north or south we recommend a trip to the impressive Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the mighty Sella group and obviously their Queen, the Marmolada with its sheer south face.
