Two Billion Pixel Photo of Mount Everest (can you find the climbers?)

#92Looks like there's a few on the icefall. Follow the line of garbage, then up and across the fall. The only hard part is dealing with the inverted mouse movement on the interface. Why would they do that???

There are actually severa more lower down, perhaps people descending.

#93Earlier quoted context omitted.
Those are tents, not a line of garbage.
Since not everyone going up the mountain comes back down the mountain and there aren't clean up crews, tents can become garbage.
Yeah, probably a few more giga-pixels and zoom will reveal the bottle caps and cigarette butts in the snow.

#94How do you take a billion pixel photos? All the cameras I've ever heard of is mega pixels... I've never heard of a billa pixel camera before.

#95Wow, I was thinking to myself: "Jeez, look at all that trash those climbers have left on the mountain!" Then I zoomed in some more, and realized the "trash" was actually tents.
Actually, a TON of trash gets left there. Oxygen tanks especially. Also- if you die there, expect to stay put.
Yeah, that's why I think my initial response was what it was. I knew that Everest gets trashed by the climbers (I don't actually know it, it's just one of those memes I've picked up on over time), so my initial impression when seeing the small brightly-colored objects in the picture was, of course, that is all that trash I've heard that gets left on the mountain.

#96This photo really makes me appreciate the fractal geometry and self-similarity of natural formations. When looking at part of the image w/o any objects of known size for reference I lost all sense of proportion. Tiny "pebbles" were actually boulders, etc.
Same here, couldn't make sense of the proportions in the foreground, I though the valley was a 1m wide track at first

Actually the controls are "non-inverted", pull down to look down. Inverted is when you pull down to look up. Non-inverted is now very popular. Most first person shooter games that ship today have non-inverted as the default. I generally find people about my age and older (30 somethings) prefer inverted, but younger people vastly prefer non-inverted.

You merge hundreds thousands mega pixel pictures!
