The highest of the great mountains of the world seems to require single gesture of mastery in order to establish as the queen of them all, immense in its solitary and unrivalled supremacy. The remarkable spectacles offered by the icy mass of Everest, which loom over the desert highlands of Tibet are as enchanting today as they did since centuries. To the north, the great mountains look out directly over an arid, inhospitable highland, where the presence of human is infrequent and limited. Here, more than to the south, the presence of human monuments and civilization is quite surprising.
