The official Tibetan name for Mount Everest is Qomolangma or Chomolungma which means 'Goddess Mother of the World'

To reach the summit of Mount Everest can take anywhere between 4 to 8 weeks. You have to allow time for your body to acclimatize to the high altitude by climbing high then descending low, then you must wait for the right weather window to allow you to climb to the summit and back safely.

Yuichiro Miura became the first person to ski on Mount Everest on May 6, 1970. He descended nearly 4,200 vertical feet from the South Col (elevation over 8,000 m (26,000 ft)). This feat was documented in 1975, in the film The Man Who Skied Down Everest. The film won the Academy Award for best documentary, the first sports film to do so.

You cant just go to Mount Everest and start climbing it. You have to allow your body to get use to the altitude, this is done by climbing up to a certain height then descend back down to Base Camp. You do this a few times then if you are ok you go for the summit.

Up to the end of 2016 there had been 118 climbers from Canada who had reached the summit of Mount Everest, 18 of these were woman.

It took two months to plan and several days of climbing as well as time spent in base camp to acclimate to the elevation.

Junko Tabei climbed Mount Everest in 1975.

Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay took the following flags to the summit of Mount Everest in 1953:

The numbers vary, as with all things. 210 people have died climbing the mountain since 1922 (the first expedition to the mountain), a mean of 2.3864 deaths per year. Some years have seen no deaths occur, mostly in the early decades of Mt. Everest climbings, and some have seen disaster years of up to 15 people (in 1996; 8 were killed from the same expedition).
At least 210 people have died climbing Mount Everest since it was first climbed in 1953. The number per year varies widely, but averaging the 210 deaths over the 56 years from 1953 to 2009 would give an answer of 3.75 per year. Some years were disastrous; in 1996, 15 people died trying to come down from the summit, 8 on the same day. The bodies of perhaps 150 of those unfortunate climbers remain on the mountain where they died.

Standing at 29.028ft or 8.848m high Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.

The deepest point in any ocean is the Mariana Trench (aka Challenger Deep) in the western Pacific Ocean at 11,033 metres deep. Mt Everest is 8,848 metres.

Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world standing at 8,848m high. No one can jump that high!

His son, Peter reached the summit of Mount Everest in 1990 and 2002

No, Edmund Hillary did not climb Mount Everest alone. He was part of an expedition where many climbers helped to get gear up the mountain for the final push for the summit. It was all teamwork.

Also for the final stage to the summit Hilary was not alone a Sherpa, Tenzing Norgay was with him

the death zone of mount everest is 28,000 feet.

Due to the fact that the climate on Mount Everest is so harsh, it is no surprise that very little lives on the mountain itself. However, there are some things that have been found on Everest. Of course, the vast majority of these things have been found at the bottom of the mountain, but some are surprisingly much higher up.

The Euophrys omnisuperstes is a small jumping spider that lives 22,000ft up Mount Everest.

The Bar-Headed Goose have been seen flying around Everest at up to thirty thousand feet.

Another bird that has been known to survive on Everest is the Chough, this bird has been seen as high as 7,920 meters.

yes, a pressure cooker would come in VERY handy on top of Mt. Everest. This is because the pressure lessens as you ascend which causes your ears to pop.

Edmund Hillary did not suffer any injurys while climbing Mount Everest in 1953.

they have bigger hearts and lungs to get more oxygen from the thin air.
