Mount Everest is approx 50 million years old. It is thought that the summit of Mount Everest started at the bottom of the ancient Tethys Sea, the motion of the Indian sub continental plate and the urasian continental plate colliding, about 30 - 50 million years ago, caused the mountain to rise up and become the highest mountain on the Earth.

I expect that many hundreds of climbers have left a flag on the summit of Mount Everest over the years. Many are probably blown away or destroyed by the strong winds.

The boiling point of water is 100 °C (212 °F) at standard pressure. On top of Mount Everest the pressure is about 260 mbar (26.39 kPa) so the boiling point of water is 69 °C. (156.2 °F).

At Muree hills the pressure of air is 700 which is less than 760 torr so water boils at 98 degree centigrade and at Mount everest pressure further decreases and water boils at 69 degree centigrade

The Mariana Trench is 150 times larger [deeper] than the Grand Canyon.

From the year 2000 to the end of 2011 there had been 4,488 ascents made to the summit of Mount Everest. Out of the 4,488 only 226 were woman climbers who had reached the summit and 21 climbers sadly died on the mountain during this time.

Today the only time the public get to hear about Expeditions on Mount Everest is if there has been some sort of disaster like an avalanche or ice fall that has killed climbers.
