First edition. *Featuring IMAX camera imagery from the film Everest. 'It took two years to perfect the specially modified IMAX camera and the team of photographers, filmmakers, scientists, and climbers who would work together to get it to the summit of Mount Everest. It took two months to acclimate to the thin air and prepare for the final assault on the Death Zone - a region so high that without acclimatization, humans die within minutes. It took barely two terrifying days for the mountain to claim eight lives and turn the Everest Film Expedition team led by world-class mountaineer and award-winning filmmaker David Breashear, into eyewitnesses - and lifesavers - caught up in a tragedy' [wrapper blurb].
