Mapping Everest - The Story Of The Great Arc

BBC4 - 4 April 2008



Hari Kunzru investigates the Great Arc, the 50-year project begun 200 years ago to map the Indian subcontinent to the nearest inch. Britain's lack of political control of the region added to the immensity of the task, with hundreds dying as a result of disease, adversity or local resistance. It was George Everest who saw the survey through to the end and gave his name to its greatest discovery - the highest mountain in the world.



The programme is dated 2003 and was no doubt aired during that year, or shortly after, though the earliest broadcast date I found from usual sources was 12 September 2006.
