And this brings me to my most recent foray into Everest-arama!

Since starting the video series Objectivity, I've been granted fantastic access to archives at the Royal Society.

(This does not make me special - anyone with a good reason or who asks politely can access items from the society's archives)

On a recent visit I flipped through the catalogues and found three index cards with references to George Everest.

We made a video about them.
