Mount Everest

Mount Everest is the "highest mountain in the world", the terrestrial location with the highest elevation above sea level : 29,029 feet (8848 m). It is located in the Himalayan mountain range, on the border between Nepal and Tibet in Asia.

It has the native names Sagarmāthā (Nepal), Chomolungma (Tibet) and Zhumulangma (China) and the first recorded ascent to its summit was by Sir Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay on May 29, 1953.

That is thought to be the Bar-Headed Goose, although you may want to take that with a pinch of salt.

The Bar-headed Goose is thought to be one of the world's highest flying birds, having been heard flying across Mount Makalu (the fifth highest mountain on earth at 8,481 metres (27,825 ft)) and apparently seen over Mount Everest (8,848 metres (29,029 ft), although this is a second hand report with no verification).

To date, there have been 1,924 ascents of Mount Everest (more than 1,300 different climbers), and 179 people have died. The overall fatality rate is thus about 9% (fatality rate is defined as successful summits compared to fatalities). However, since 1990 there has been an explosion of summiteers and fatality statistics have changed. Up to 1990, the Everest fatality rate is a whopping 37%, with 106 deaths and only 284 summits. Yet from 1990 until today, the rate has dropped to 4.4%; 73 people have died, and 1,640 have summited. Thus, the rate decreased to about eight times less than the pre-1! 990 fatality rate.

Mount Everest is the tallest mountain, but is not one of the "natural wonders" of the world.

Try searching 'Mount Everest model' on Google pictures. I am sure you will find some there.

Mt. Everest is too steep for the wild yak to navigate on its hills and the rocks doesnt have grass for them to feed up on.

ADded by Will Cate. in other words. it can;t.

On the 25th May 2006 Austrian climber Christian Stangl made a speed ascent from the North side of Everest taking 16 hours 42 minutes from Base Camp to summit. He then took just 6 hours from the summit back to Base Camp on the same day

Litter has always been a problem on Mount Everest. Once the climber has reached the summit he/she is very tired and just wants to get back to base camp as soon as possible. This usually means leaving items on the mountain to make a faster descent.

Today this has all changed. There are dedicated teams that collect litter from the mountain and bring it back down to base camp.

There has been around 265 people die on Mount Everest while trying to reach or return from the highest summit in the world. The most famous two are George Mallory and Andrew Irvine. Many of their body's are in view from the route used to ascend and descend from the summit.

Both sides of Mount Everest are hard to climb, there is no easy way to the top. The North side you have higher camps and the Second Step to deal with while on the South Side you have the Khumbu Icefall and the Hillary Step.
