Sir Edmund Hillary had a profound impact on New Zealand, both as a national icon and a symbol of exploration and adventure. His successful ascent of Mount Everest in 1953, alongside Tenzing Norgay, inspired a sense of pride and achievement among New Zealanders. Hillary's later humanitarian work, particularly in Nepal, also fostered a strong connection between New Zealand and the Himalayan region. His legacy continues to influence New Zealand's identity as a nation of explorers and adventurers.
