Mount Everest



With an incredible height of 8,848m (29,029 ft) Mount Everest is the world’s highest mountain peak. It is a parent mountain for many hundreds of other peaks.  Expeditions to Everest were made since 1921, though the first successful one was only possible in 1953, which was by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. It is located in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas and the border between China and Nepal runs across it. It received its name from Andrew Waugh who named it after his predecessor Sir George Everest. Though there have been many partially and completely successful attempts to climb the Everest the most recent and amazing one is by Arunima Sinha. She is the first female Amputee and also the first Indian Amputee to climb Mount Everest.
