1924 Everest Expedition Photos Online
Some photos from the good ‘ol days, back before Everest was closed to outsiders so that the occupying country could host a torch-carrying PR event at the summit. Though Bentley Beetham was likely a guy with a thick accent, goofy teeth, and a tweed mountaineering suit, he was also a photographer who took several dozen photos of the 1924 Everest Expedition. Now Beetham’s photos are online so we waste time at work while sitting in cubicles.

I certainly wouldn’t call looking at those images a waste of time. All that other garbage I was putting off in my cubicle so that I could look at those images is the real waste of time. Thanks for those, RT!
