"The Top of the World"

Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world with an altitude of 8,848 metres (29,028 ft), is seen in this aerial view March 25, 2008. Mount Everest was supposed to be the scene of the crowning glory of the Beijing Olympic torch relay, but unrest in Tibet, where the ascent of the world's highest mountain will begin, now threatens to dominate the event.
