We’re starting with Earth’s highest mountain
National Geographic climbed Everest to tell this amazing story of struggle and triumph in an effort to recreate the journeys that came before them. Visitors enter the exhibit are welcomed by sounds of a sleepy yet optimistic Base Camp as they are transported to Nepal. Voices of mountaineers who braved this world marvel come to life in Once Upon a Climb.

Sounds coming from the mountain travel the length of the hallway, helicopters fly overhead, avalanches come from high overhead, storms are swirling eddies of sound objects…
How did they do that?
The prologue was Spatial’s first “mountain” to climb. When National Geographic asked Spatial to climb Everest, we knew this was going to be an adventure of a lifetime.
