Article Photos: Drones capture mountain scenery in Pakistan



  In this July 2012 photo provided by Aurora Photos for Mammut, a team member gets ready to operate a helicopter over the Trango Summit in northern Pakistan's Karakoram mountain range. Drones have long been the domain of the U.S. military, which uses them extensively in Pakistan’s tribal areas near the Afghanistan border to spy on and target threats to the United States. Recently, however, civilians have increasingly turned to drones to shoot ground-breaking footage or angles of adventure sports. (AP Photo/Aurora Photos for Mammut, Corey Rich)
