Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) To support encyclopedic discussion of this work in this article. The illustration is specifically needed to support the following point(s):

"Paris Match printed a special edition for 19 August with articles about the expedition and the cover photo, taken by Lachenal, showing Herzog with his ice axe and Tricolour at the summit. The magazine sold in record numbers and the photo remained an iconic image for years to come."
Also "Even as far back as 1950 a small number of people doubted the expedition had reached the summit. One of the problems was the famous "summit photo" that seems to show the ground sloping up higher than Herzog's feet. Also, after Lachenal's death it was claimed he used to say he had no memory of the summit, or another version was that he had once said had not got there at all. Even fifty years later there were doubts from a small minority. Herzog had written there was a fierce wind at the summit but in the photo he seems to be having to hold the flag out straight."
