Top of the World on Xmas Eve by Bill Thompson
This one of a kind photo from the top of the world image was taken on Christmas Eve 1985 as Bill Thompson and team raced back to Kathmandu in the Lear jet from filming Everest.
From Bill: "It was an extraordinarily crystalline and beautiful evening as the sun set on Everest and all of its surrounding peaks. I begged the pilot to make a turn to allow me to make an image … he said that if we did this we might run out of fuel before we got to Kathmandu. All of a sudden he made a sharp unexpected turn to the right… I made three or four frames and another sharp turn towards Kathmandu. We arrived on fumes."
