I've seen hundreds of photos from the summit looking out, thousands of photos looking toward the summit from below, but this is the first time I saw a photo that really gives a feel for how much room there is at the summit. The point in the video shortly after he releases the drone at 1min 57sec feels like seeing the Earth from a spaceship or satellite for first time -- it's a perspective I'd never seen before.
Because of it's geography (only high peak in a plain), climbing mount Fuji gave me pretty much the same vibe, except that the landscape is quite different and it's doable by most people without risking your life.
Agreed. I've watched a few Everest documentaries over the years. The camera work in the ones I saw doesn't quite give me an overall sense of the space. This was very nice to see.
