Summary:
The summit of Mount Everest-the highest place on Earth. Could it be conquered? Could a climber literally stand on
top
of the
world
? No one had ever reached the summit and returned alive. Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay wanted to be the first. Not far from the
top
, before their final hours of climbing, team photographer Alfred Gregory snapped a picture of Hillary and Norgay, with the imposing Himalayas spread out behind them. It was the highest
photograph
anyone in human history had ever taken. With a click of his camera shutter in May 1953, Gregory opened up a hidden
world
for the rest of humanity to share.
