Visible are snow peaked mountains near and far, tremendous cliffs, distant plateaus, the tops of clouds, and a dark blue sky. Mt. Everest stands 8.85 kilometers above sea level, roughly the maximum height reached by international airplane flights, but much less than the 300 kilometers achieved by a space shuttle. Hundreds of people have tried and failed to climb the behemoth by foot, a feat first accomplished successfully in 1953. About 1000 people have now made it to the summit. Roddy Mackenzie, who climbed the mountain in 1989, captured this image.

Mt. Everest lies in the Himalayan mountains in the country of Nepal. In the native language of Nepal, the mountain's name is "Sagarmatha" which means "forehead of the sky."

On all paws, German Giant, named for the world's largest rabbit breed, stands about 17 inches tall. And standing on his hind feet, he's more than three feet tall.

German Giant, one of the biggest bunnies on the face of the planet, tips the scales at 17 pounds - almost seven pounds more than the average rabbit of his breed.

Wow! Look at those big furry feet!
