WOW. The biggest image our lot have taken is a stitched 15,000 composite that was 68Gbyte (not bit). normally we compress that to 7-8Gbyte to view on the iPad (yes it is possible, even over a 3G network) but zooming in is wonderful in this image.
If they did deconvolution from a measured PSF I recon you could go even further in zoom.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

That is prominance not height. Many of the highest peaks are sub-peaks of a parent and are only 500m in their own right. I think K2 may be the highest by prominance. Higher than Everest.

You'll need to Register first of course.

By definition, nothing can be more prominent than Everest, which has a prominence equal to its full height above sea level! K2's prominence is defined by the highest Col between K2 and Everest.

Their words not mine, but thanks - that makes more sense. Interesting concept.

Surely google earth constitutes the worlds bigest picture.
In2White even seems have made Mont Blanc the highest mountain in Europe.
However, it is still a magnificent picture

It's not even a panorma of or from Mont Blanc (yes mont blanc can be seen in the picture from a very un flattering angle) it from the top of the Petit Flambeaux and it's of the Valley Blanche and sorounding (sp?) area.
The twadle about how hard it was to take forgets to mention they were 10 min walk form a refuge - a nice italian one with proper coffee, food and showers (but not proper loos)

Check out Marilyns, the relative hills of Britain. People have listed every prominence >150m. Some might say this is a bit too geeky but it certainly took a great deal of effort. No one has completed them yet. The 2 stacs in the St Kilda Islands are very rarely climbed due to access difficulties. A few people have about 4 to go, there are >1000 I think. Ach, here I've googled it for ya:
http://www.rhb.org.uk
1556 in fact, but then someone had a go at listing 'humps', >100m drop, nearly 3000 of them, possibly a step too far. I suspect Sir Hugh didn't realise the monster he was creating
