MOUNT EVEREST (29,029 ft ASL) versus ABACO (134 ft ASL)…
I only occasionally go completely off-piste and post something that has nothing whatsoever to do with Abaco, the Bahamas or indeed with wildlife in any of its many forms. This is one such occasion. The Guardian newspaper (online) has put up the most amazing interactive image of Mount Everest, which can be zoomed, panorama’d and 360˚’d. The highest point on Abaco is 134 feet above sea level, so best prepare for altitude sickness. I found this really fascinating, especially zooming in on the little pile of apparent litter – actually a base camp. Normal service will be resumed after Christmas…

I’ll take the soaring sandy foothills of Abaco, anyday!

Hi Jody, quite agree. Mean annual temperature of say 80. The other place, more like minus 80. Abaco not great for skiing… But you won’t catch fish at base camp either! Oh, I see you looked at the beads too. You’re an expert beachcomber – any theories? RH
