Now we get a full panoramic view of how much trash all these rich day hikers have left up there.
Actually, my understanding is that Everest base camp is pretty clean, since they started requiring climbers to bring back trash in the 90s. I think it's mainly the higher up camps that have big garbage (and human waste) problems.
Cool. It's a nice trek if anyone like the idea. I wonder if they'll try lugging the camera towards the summit next.
Who gets assigned to do this? Where do I apply?
I've heard (with no evidence) that it is usually someone on the team who wants to go somewhere, and they get approval by taking the cameras with them. I'm sure that's an oversimplification, but perhaps there is some truth to it.
One of these days we'll see a drone with a street-view cam on the moon, or even Mars. That would be awesome.
Very interesting to see they simply used a tripod for this!
Isn't that how they normally do the non-car street view stuff? Basically stick the street-view camera onto a tripod?
There's also a heavily modified backpack that carries a StreetView camera.
