Sunset on Mt. Annapurna, Nepal, Himalayas
The peak on the left, Annapurna I is the 10th highest mountain in the world and sits about 10 Kms behind the ridge! The lower peak on the right, Mt. Hiunchuli, more like an extension of the Annapurna South peak (set outside this frame) is almost 2000 meters lower!
RIP Maurice Herzog (1919-2012) forever the charismatic and controversial figure. Maurice Herzog passed away today, Dec 15, 2012. This photograph is dedicated to his memory and to the other French heroes, Louis Lachenal, Gaston Rebuffat, Lionel Terray and the rest of the team that helped conquer the first 8000 meter peak on their first attempt, in 1950.
