Mount Everest

Edmund Hillary was the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest on the 29th May 1953.

The Sherpas from Nepal have had the most summits of Mount Everest.

1987

George Mallory first climbed Mount Everest in 1921 when the 13th Dalai Lama permitted, for the first time, the expedition of Everest. Before 1921, there were no recorded expeditions. George Mallory then went back in 1922, 1923, and 1924 until he died in an unsuccessful, or some may argue a successful summit. In the event that it was a successful summit, which is not recorded and has not been proven true, George Mallory would have been the first to reach the summit opposed to the recorded statement that Sir Edmund Hillary and his expedition partner were first. Nonetheless, George Mallory did not return from the mountain on his last expedition.

Good question, but there is still no answer. The show Expedition Unknown did several shows on your question. He collected samples and talked with people to try to get an answer. I won't tell you what happened, so watch the show.

Edmund Hillary was the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest followed by Tenzing Norgay. They did so on the 29th May 1953.

Mount everest is where i have been to with my class

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

The 1953 expedition was made up by John Hunt, George Band, Thomas Bourdillon, Charles Evans, Alfred Gregory, George Lowe, Wilfrid Noyce, Griffith Pugh, Thomas Stobart, Michael Ward, Michael Westmacott , Charles Wylie and many Sherpas and porters all helped put Hillary and Tenzing on the summit of Mount Everest.

It is said the Mount Everest grows every year by a few milimeters.

Probably around 500 people reached the summit of Everest but a lot more tried and failed.

Edmund Hillary used oxygen from tanks on his back when he climbed to the summit of Mount Everest.

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.

During the 2003 climbing season 4 people died on Mount Everest, they are:

Bhim Bahadur Gurung

Jan Krzysztof Liszewski

Arnaud Saulnier

Karma Gyalzen Sherpa

The temperature at the summit of Mount Everest never rises above freezing, averaging -32F (-36C) in winter and -2F (-19C) in summer. The wind chill, sometimes blowing a gale at an hundred miles per hour will make it feel very much colder too.

If you mean 'The Ascent of Everest' then that was written by John Hunt, the leader of the British 1953 Mount Everest expedition.

The first ten people to reach the summit of Mount Everest are:

1: Edmund Hillary

2: Tenzing Norgay

3: Jurg Marmet

6: Hansrudolf von Gunten

The best thing to do on Mount Everest is definitely to trek!

There are various treks you can do depending on your fitness levels. The one I did was the Everest Base Camp trek which seems to be the most popular choice - you do need a moderate level of fitness but it's the best way for the regular tourist to see Everest. You also get to stay in tea houses along the way which really gives you a feel for traditional Nepal. If you go in the Autumn and fly into Kathmandu, make sure you stop in at Namche Bazaar for their Mani Rimdu festival, it's really lively and worth going to.

Well, the main problem of human activity is probably tourism, as climbers are leaving oxygen tanks, water bottles and food cans just about everywhere. Many people agree that Mount Everest was in a much healthier state before all the climbers came. After all, thousands of feet treading on the footpaths can't be good, can it?

The third man to climb Mount Everest was Jurg Marmet from Switzerland on the 23rd May 1956.

The tallest mountain in the world is Mauna Kea in Hawaii. It stands at 19,796 feet above sea level but add in the bit you can't see and it is over 33,000 feet which is significantly taller than mount Everest! well mountains are normaly measured from sea level so in that case Mount Everest wins at (29,028 feet; 8,848 meters)
