Mount Everest

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

There are many dangers on Mount Everest. Many people die before reaching the summit, which is 11,328 feet from base camp because of the strong winds, the freezing temperatures (that reach about -35ºC in the winter), and lack of oxygen above Earth's atmosphere. These are all things that you must be wary of when climbing Mount Everest. Not to mention the walls of ice and the probability that if not properly trained, you could die from bad equipment or lack of knowledge of your equipment.

Mount Everest the highest mountain in the world is part of the Himalayan mountain range. The Himalaya are among the youngest mountain ranges on the planet.

If you count all the travel to base camp and then waiting for the weather to be just right, most expeditions take a few months, though the last part of the climb to the summit is usually done in several hours, weather permitting.

It has been done several times; therefore it is possible to ski on Mount Everest. As well as K2 and many other mountains. The question is: are you a good enough skier to ski on Mount Everest? And also, you got to remember that everything is skiable-- just you have a 100% chance of dying. But the mountains mentioned earlier have been done.

The distance from Stone Mountain to the base of Mount Everest is 8,122 miles.

The region above 25,000 feet (7,600 meters) is called the death zone. The reason for this name is because nothing lives at that altitude or above and no human can survive long there due to the lack of oxygen in the thin air.

The Weather

The highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest is located on the border of Nepal and Tibet in the Himalayan mountains.

Tallest mountain in Asia is Everest, it is also the world highest mountain.

The world tallest mountain is Mauna Kea.

Mauna Kea would be the World's tallest mountain only if 20,000 feet of it wasn't under seawater. So until the Pacific Ocean dries up, Mount Everest will remain as the world's tallest free standing mountain.

If you mean the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest then that was Edmund Hillary in 1953

Following his ascent of Everest, Hillary devoted most of his life to helping the Sherpa people of Nepal through the Himalayan Trust, which he founded. Through his efforts, many schools and hospitals were built in Nepal.

At the end of 2012 approx five thousand have climbed Mount Everest.

The summit of Mount Everest was first reached in 1953 by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.

The Weather

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 has 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.

50 million years ago Mount Everest was on the sea bed. 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.
