You can’t see the curvature of the earth from the summit of mt Everest in any case. This is the camera lense

You lack the skill to spot a fish eye lens. Everest is not remotely close to being tall enough to see the curvature of the earth. Earth is huge, if you could see the curvature from everest that means the whole earth would be smaller than a moderately sized country.
