Surname (& first name) is a great time waster. My surname is very common - especially in Myanmar apparently - the last fact was a surprise… loved the Everest video too
Fun fact about George Everest (which you probably know given how many facts you share 🙃) his grave is a very non-descript one down here near me in Hove, right next to the Big Tesco. He actually never went anywhere near the mountain which is bananas.
How many rabbit holes did I go down reading this ?! I am NEVER going up Mount Everest. Not that I ever was going to - but oh my goodness that journey up is mind blowing.
I’ve read a lot of Everest books and seen quite a few films, but that drone video puts it all together in a way I haven’t seen before.
I might add, as someone who’s done a fair bit of rock climbing and mountaineering, I would think there would be almost zero crossover between people climbing Everest and people climbing at the Olympics.
That drone ascent of Everest was absolutely amazing! And I didn't look with a lot of attention to detail of the National Geographic map of Everest deaths. I never ever thought for even 5 seconds that I might want to attempt that adventure. Walking in the woods is my niche. Glad you're back and look forward to more discoveries thanks to you.
Love this one, especially the Two Shot film, thank you Lev

Only (approximately) 18 people with my surname! Anyone beat that?
Actually a little bit disappointed that my surname is only the 208th most common in the world.
I'm obsessed with the Mushroom color atlas, the website design is so beautiful.

And the surname stuff - LOVE it

Wow didn’t realise how many deaths on Everest . Climbing, my GS climbs and some of his videos I’m heart in the mouth. Good to see you back
