Beautiful - reminds me of this Puffin Picture Book I picked up years ago - I never tire of looking at these pictures - I'm guessing that either Noyce or Taylor is the illustrator.
Cover of the Puffin book "Everest is Climbed"Illustration from the book showing climbers at the South Col. Tensing and Hillary at the summit of Everest.
