Mount Everest versus Mont Blanc

comparing the heights of Mount Everest / Sagarmatha / Chomolungma with Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak

 

using QGIS 2.18.3, Qgis2ThreeJS plugin.

 

Other tools used

- custom CRS (azimuthal equal area centered and aligned on each peak)

- python elevation library to find and stitch the SRTM DEMs

- 7km buffer to clip both rasters

- copy coordinates plugin

- OSM Place search plugin. Very handy this one, especially for finding peaks and small pacific islands which are a pain to find otherwise :)
