This photo was taken on February 27, 2018 at the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain above sea level in the world. The peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro sits at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level.
We hiked through the night and reached summit just as the sun was coming out. It was the only time in my life that I've experienced looking down at the sunrise. It was a truly magical feeling.
This photo was taken on May 28, 2023 at 4:38am during a group climb of Mt. Athabasca in the Columbia Icefield of Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada.
The weather showed up for us that night with perfectly clear skies, and the sun was just starting to peak over the horizon when this photo was taken. A couple of hours prior, at around 1 or 2am, while we were climbing along the same face lower on the mountain, we caught a glimpse of the northern lights.
The peak of Mt. Athabasca sits at 3,491 meters (11,453 feet) above sea level with a prominence of 671 meters (2,201 feet).
I took this photo on October 11, 2022 at sunrise from Kala Patthar, the highest point you can reach near Mt. Everest without a special climbing permit. The peak of Kala Patthar sits at 5,545 meters, or 18,192 feet, above sea level.
The three main peaks seen in this photo are Lhotse, Everest, and Nuptse.
