How many times in that mountain episode did they have a world first? First snow leopard hunt on film, first panda nursing her cub on film, there were a few more first I believe, amazing. how about those birds at the end that actually fly OVER Everest. I believe that was a first on film also. Those birds fly as high as commercial airliners, 5 miles in the air!

And all of the shit (literally) that the photographers go through to get just a few seconds of footage is unreal. That takes a special person w/true passion for their craft and it shows.
