Best Answer

Sir Edmund Hillary was a famous New Zealand mountaineer and explorer and something of a philanthropist, who was the first, with Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, to reach the summit of Mount Everest. He also travelled to both the South and North Poles, and helped to set up a trust fund for the Sherpa people of Nepal. Sir Edmund Hillary appears on New Zealand Five Dollar notes issued from 1992 to present.
