This awe-inspiring photograph captures the majesty of Mount Everest as you've never seen it before - from more than a mile above.
The spectacular panorama shows the breathtaking landscape of the Himalayas from six miles above sea level.
It was shot by an intrepid British photographer wearing breathing apparatus in -56C temperatures 36,000 feet up.
"Married Mr Dickinson, 62, soared to 36,000ft - where temperatures dropped to minus 56 degrees Celsius - to become the first person to fly over
Everest in a balloon.
I think these are stunning pictures and wish I had been there, if there is ever a way to see the summit of Everest then this is it, I dont fancy the
hassle of climbing
Man that's cold! And wouldn't you think wind would be kicking that balloon's butt? In the movies I've seen they can barely get a helicopter up
half the mountain because of the wind gusts.
Thats mostly due to the wind funneling off of the slopes making sudden gusts of wind a danger to helicopters, with the ballon you are above all of
that and would be in one steady channel of air unless there was a storm
