imagine being an obscure 19th century cartographer and mid-ranking colonial public servant and having the highest mountain in the world named after you and becoming a household name forever

Yea its funny but that guy ran the coffee shop on the peak of the Mountain for decades before it became popular to ascend. He deserves it imo.
