From norbutenzing: "May 29th, 1953: The iconic image of my father Tenzing Norgay Sherpa, tenzingnorgaysherpa, taken by Sir Edmund Hillary on the summit of Mr. Everest— 'Chomolungma' to Sherpas. It was a defining moment in human achievement, and he remains an inspiration for millions, that with hard work, humility and right motivation, everyone can reach their own Everest." Norbu Tenzing Norgay is taking over our Instagram today in honor of #Sherpa, part of #ElevationWeekend on #Discovery. Image credit: RGS-IBG #Everest #Himalayas #history #Nepal
