This detailed look at Mt. Everest and Lohtse is part of a more extensive photograph of the central Himalaya. Taken in October 1993, this image is one of the best views of the mountain captured by astronauts to date. It shows the North and South Faces of Everest in shadow with the Kangshung Face in morning light. Other major peaks in the immediate area are Nuptse and Bei Peak (Changtse). The picture was taken looking slightly obliquely when the spacecraft was north of Everest. If you think you're confident with the geography of Mt. Everest, go on to the next slide for a quiz!
