Student Button
|
Each part of the route has a "Student Button" link. This part is designed
to "talk" to the students about each stage of the 1953 Everest climb as if
they were actually there, literally climbing in Sir Edmund Hillary's
footsteps. It will help to paint a picture for them of what it was
like for the climbers on the Everest expedition in 1953, and go some way
to transporting them to Mt Everest in their minds. Just as Sir
Edmund Hillary lived and played out the adventures of other
famous explorers [Shackleton, Scott and Shipton] in his mind as a child.

Photo Button
|
This button will link to a photo of the particular part of the route the
students are at, helping to bring the route to the summit more alive and
real for them. There are photos of the camps, crevasses, scenes and
climbers along the way.
|
Map Button
|
The map button indicates a relevant map of the route from the
1953 expedition. This is important because the route
used today has fewer camps, and as a result the camp numbers do not relate
to the 1953 camps.

|

|
Video Button
|
This button indicates relevant video clips on the "Hillary - Nothing Venture, Nothing Win" CD.
