It is said that when you stand on the edge of the ocean and look out towards the horizon, the farthest point you can see is 3 miles.

Why is it we keep looking around us so much and can only see 3 miles in any given direction. We get frustrated and "give up". Is life really that shallow?

The funny thing is that when you stand on the mountain K2 in Africa you can see the largest panoramic surface area of the earth in one glance (well over 200 miles). But you have to climb to see it.

Who knows how far you can see on Mount Everest.
