Beyond the Summit (2000x3)


Udgivelsesdato: Dec 13, 2000

In 1953, the first brave group of visionaries stood on the highest point on earth — the summit of Mt. Everest. Since that time hundreds of expeditions have attempted, successfully and unsuccessfuly, to conquer the daunting mountain peak. Forty-seven years, hundreds of discarded oxygen bottles and tons of debris later, the highest camp of Everest is known as the world's highest trash dump. In May 2000, a group of environmentalists executed a full-scale cleanup of this extraordinary natural wonder. Narrated by Sharon Stone and stunningly photographed by high altitude cinematographer Jeff Rhoads (National Geographic's A Footprint on Everest), Beyond the Summit: The Everest Environmental Expedition documents their arduous endeavor.
