Lhamu Crater

We are overjoyed to announce that a crater on the Moon has been named “Lhamu” in honor of Pasang Lhamu Sherpa, the inspiring subject of our documentary film, PASANG: In the Shadow of Everest. This incredible recognition is a testament to Pasang’s historic summit of Mount Everest and the enduring legacy she has left for Nepal and the world.

“This historic honour recognises her remarkable legacy and celebrates the spirit of determination and courage she embodies,” the embassy said in a post on X. “Her extraordinary achievement has opened doors for young Nepali women and inspired countless women worldwide to aim for even greater heights, not only in mountaineering but in all walks of life.”

~ Nepal Embassy, Washington, DC

“Pasang Lhamu was the first Nepalese woman to summit Everest and now has a crater named for her on the summit of an important lunar South Pole mountain,”

~ USGS

“A fitting tribute to a courageous Nepali woman!”

~ The Australian Embassy

Pasang Lhamu Sherpa (the subject of our documentary, PASANG: In the Shadow of Everest) has been honored with 'Lhamu", a crater on the south pole of the Moon dedicated in her name
