Astronaut Dan Bursch, a member of the Expedition 4 crew on the International Space Station, observed Mt. Everest in late March 2002. This detailed image of Everest shows early morning light on the eastern Kangshung Face. The mountains appear to jump out of the picture because the image was taken with low sunlight using an electronic still camera equipped with an 800 mm lens. Astronaut Bursch describes passing over Mt. Everest as part of his 120-day report.
