Rich Member Jun 27, 2006 #106 Just kidding! I think that this is base camp (coloured things are tents I think): and this is everest itself (base camp located at the bottom of the glacier in the middle): here's a map to help clear things up a little and compare with the photo above: Now someone find me the Lighthouse Reef, and the famous Blue Hole (one of the most famous dives in the world) that is located within the reef.

almostaskier Active member Jun 27, 2006 #107 well so i know it's close to Belmoplan, but i see no blue hole...
Rich Member Jun 27, 2006 #110 Hmmm, well you're looking for a dive site. Belmoplan is inland. Head east.
Rich Member Jun 27, 2006 #113 No. spot on, sorry. Someone rang me when I was replying to Patty and I guess you posted before I clicked "reply". I actually don't think google earth does the Blue Hole justice, so I'll post this pic which gives you a better idea:

Poormansvault Member Jun 27, 2006 #130 Kind of Complicated: State's highest mountain and a ski area, in one shot, with the eye altitude below 24,000 feet. Ski area can't be on the highest mountain (No Stowe, for example, so VT is out even with Smuggs, because I told you)
