Historical panorama view of the Kangchenjunga massif from the Tiger Hill near Darjeeling, India. From here, Mount Everest (29,029 ft / 8,848 m), Makalu (27,825 ft / 8,481 m) and Lhotse (27,940 ft / 8,516 m) are just visible. The Kanchenjunga (center) looks higher than Mt. Everest (2nd from left), as it is several miles closer than Everest. Until 1852, it was believed that Kangchenjunga was the highest mountain on earth. It was only the calculations of the trigonometric survey of India by the British in 1849 that proved that Mount Everest and K2 were even higher, making Kangchenjunga the third highest mountain in the world. Wood engraving, published in 1894.
