This is a striking 1985 Helmut Heuberger and Working Group for Comparative High Mountain Research (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für vergleichende Hochgebirgsforschung) map of Mount Everest and vicinity. Red manuscript notations trace the route followed by an expedition through the mountains, eventually reaching the top of the Khumbu Glacier within sight of Everest. Follow a Trek to Everest! The map depicts the region from the Lunag Glacier and Pigpherago Shar to Khumbakarna Himal and Chomo Là nzà and from Jobo Rabzang to Chamlang and Iswa La. Numerous locations throughout are identified, including Mount Everest (Sagarmatha), which is situated just below and to the left of the key. Towns, villages, and other settlements are labeled, including Nauche (Namche Bazar), one of the waypoints on almost all treks to Everest, and one of the places through which the expedition traced here stopped. Himalayan peaks are identified throughout, complete with their elevations (in meters), as are glaciers and lakes. Contour lines cover the whole, underscoring elevation as essential to navigation the Himilayas. A key situated in the upper right includes a legend, a conversion table from meters to feet, and a publishing history.
