Mark Hasara on Instagram: "I thought it hard to believe at first but it did happen. A very smart and athletic mountain climber packed his drone all the way to the top of Mt Everest and launched it! He’s sitting on a peak a bit over 29,000 feet tall, an altitude airliners operate at. His drone recorded spectacular views of the peaks, the snow, valleys, and scenery around him or her.
