The oxygen gets thinner with the altitude. Therefore, the animals that are found here are adapted to living on less oxygen as well as a cold temperature. They have thick coats to retain body heat.

Some of them have shortened limbs to prevent loss of body heat. The Himalayan bears go into hibernation in caves during the winter when there is no food available.

Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were the first to reach the summit on the 29th May 1953.

Until 1852, Kangchenjunga was assumed to be the highest mountain in the world, but calculations based on various readings and measurements made by the Great Trigonometric Survey of India in 1849 came to the conclusion that Mount Everest, known as Peak XV at the time, was the highest

There are no houses on Mount Everest, only camps during the climbing season that are tents.

No he was not. Reinhold Messner was the first person to climb Mount Everest without artifical oxygen in 1978.

After reaching the summit of Mount Everest with Edmund Hillary in 1953 Tenzing did not climb the mountain again.

Mount Everest can be found in the Himalayas.

Every year the mountain grows taller by 4mm as a result of the upward thrust generated by two opposing tectonic plates.

Edmund Hillary has been on Mount Everest twice.
In 1951, Edmund Hillary was part of the British Reconnaissance Expedition on Mount Everest led by Eric Shipton.
In 1953, Edmund Hillary was part of the successful British attempt of 1953.

The highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest can be located on the border of Nepal and Tibet in the Himalayan mountains. It can be found at these coordinates 27°59′17″N 86°55′31″E 27°59′17″N 86°55′31″E

Mt Elbrus is on the Russian side of the Caucasus mountain range and is the tallest mountain in Europe.

the amount of snow on mt Everest is remarkable and it is quite obvious that there can be tons of loose snow so if there are all together and start to fall it can cause an avalanche or multiple avalanches.

lenght is 8850 meter

In 1975 Junko Tabei from Japan became the first woman to reach the top of Everest
On the 16th 1975 May Junko Tabei from Japan became the first woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

At the summit of Mount Everest there is approximately 33% of the oxygen that is available at sea level.

Tenzing described their joy: "I waved my arms in the air, and then threw them around Hillary, and we thumped each other on the back until, even with the oxygen, we were almost breathless. Then we looked around. It was eleven-thirty in the morning, the sun was shining, and the sky was the deepest blue I have ever seen."

Hillary reflected on the men who had inspired him to climb in the first place: "Inevitably my thoughts turned to Mallory and Irvine, who had lost their lives on the mountain thirty years before. With little hope I looked around for some sign that they had actually made it to the summit, but could see nothing."

Mount Everest is located on the border of Nepal and Tibet in the Himalayan mountains. It can be found at these coordinates 27°59′17″N 86°55′31″E 27°59′17″N 86°55′31″E. It is the highest mountain in the world.

Mount Kilimanjaro with its three volcanic cones, "Kibo", "Mawenzi", and "Shira", is a dormant volcano in Tanzania. It is the highest mountain in Africa, and rises approximately 4,877 metres (16,001 ft) from its base to 5,895 metres (19,341 ft) above sea level.

Mount Everest first attracted interest in 1847 when it was suspected of being the world's highest mountain. This was confirmed in 1849. Prior to this it had probably been known to the natives but did not attract particular attention. It was first successfully climbed (not discovered) in 1953.

This will depend on the weather and visibility. On a clear day you will probably see for a couple hundred miles taking in the view of many other high mountains, you will even see the curvature of the earth.

Edmund Hillary was the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest at 11.30 in the morning on the 29thMay 1953 followed by Tenzing Norgay.
