The big mountains
Jan. 11th, 2006 11:19 pmI found Mount Everest and K2. I had to check the altitude of pretty much every mountain in the Himalays, because you have to get in close before they'll show you the names, and sometimes you just see the local names.
I'd always thought that the two mountains were near each other. Everest is to the east of Khatmandu (which is to the Northeast of India), while K2 is in the north of Pakistan.
And the elevations given by Google Earth are not exact. In some cases, they are off by a couple thousand feet.
