What is it like on Mount Everest?

Answer 1

The higher you get the harder it is to breathe. Mount Everest is 8848 meters tall. Therefore it is in a zone called the "death zone" (the death zone is 8000 meters and above). Only 14 mountains are in this zone. Most climbers use oxygen from around 7000 meters to 8000 meters. But others try without. The first two climbers to do this were Reinhold Messner and Peter Habler. Mount Everest is also in line with jet stream winds. This causes the summit to be untouchable most of the year.

Answer 2

From a distance, it is a large gray or white peak emerging from the surrounding mountains. From the base of the summit, it is just a large jutting rock, and gives no indication of just how huge, high, and cold it is.

Answer 3

On a clear day you can actually see many other mountains from the summit of Mount Everest. Ama Dablam is located in Eastern Nepal and stands at a height of 22,494 feet tall. If the visibility is good, you will be able to see this peak. You will also be able to see Changtse which is considerably taller at 24,747 feet tall, as well as Nuptse which is even taller, standing at 25,850 feet tall. However, one of the most exciting things that you can see from the summit of Mount Everest is the curvature of the earth.

Answer 4

The scenery of Mount Everest includes very few things, which includes snow and some wild animals below the point of no return. There is an invisible line known as the 'point of no return,' which is where the oxygen starts to lower in quantity and wildlife would not be able to live in. It is said that creatures like Bigfoot, Yeti, etc live on Everest, but no proof has been found. Realistic animals that live below the point of no return may include bear and other warm blooded animals. It is very unlikely that you would see trees on Mount Everest, but looking off from the summit you could most likely see everything within a 30 mile radius.

Answer 5

The summit of Mount Everest is not all that big, on it you will find prayer flags and gifts left there by the climbers. On a clear day you can see for hundreds of miles, you can even see the route you have just climbed.

Take a look at the photographs in the link I have given, you can see what the summit looks like.

Answer 6
