== == Additional information:

Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth, and the highest point on the Earth's crust, as measured by the height above sea level of its summit, 8,848 metres (29,029 ft).

The mountain, which is part of the Himilaya range in Asia, is located on the border between Sagarmatha Zone, Nepal, and Tibet, China. Mount Everest is the highest point on Earth as measured from Sea Level, but... Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is the point on earth closest to the moon and outer space. This is because the Earth is not perfectly round, it is bulging slightly at the equator. Mount Chimborazo, in the Andes, is a 20,000-plus-foot peak sitting on top of a bulge on the Earth. Mount Everest is a 29,000-plus-foot peak sitting lower down on that same bulge. Because Chimborazo is a bump on a bigger part of the bulge, it is higher. Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is 1.5 miles closer to outer space than Mount Everest. (source: See Related Links)
