While every desk here at Nat Geo has a personal touch of some sort, nearly all have at least one thing in common—a pile of recent issues of National Geographic. Every month, a couple stacks of the newest issue are delivered, and people mosey on over to the copy room to grab theirs.

For digital subscribers, in addition to getting to read the incredible cover story, we’ve also put together a really cool behind-the-scenes look at how we finally got the shot. And our top-notch interactive team transformed the issue’s provocative look at the debate over whether Everest is really the world’s tallest mountain into
a digital experience you won’t want to miss.
