A View from the Top
In the language of Nepali, the word “sagarmatha” means ‘forehead of the sky.’ And no, they’re not referring to Tom Selleck’s head. Although if more Nepalese rode the Magnum ride at Minnesota State Fair, I’m sure that’s exactly the word you’d be hearing.
But since people from Nepal only have the Himalayan mountains as an example of gigantic stony outcroppings, they reserve the term for something else. Today’s picture from NASA shows that perhaps the Nepalese have a point. A panoramic view from atop Mount Everest. Spectacular, awe inspiring, and terrifying, to say the least.
Although no less so than Tom Selleck’s head, as King from SCSU Scholars can personally attest:
I am having nightmares over the size of Selleck's noggin. Seriously guys, it's scaring me. What the hell is it? The Amazing Craniac?
