Is there a Mount Everest ride in Disneyland?
Not at the one in California. Disney California Adventure (the park right next to Disneyland in California) has a Frozen sing-a-long show and a Frozen stage show, but as yet no actual ride based on the movie.
My bet would be that, if they do renovate an existing ride at DCA as a Frozen ride, it will likely be the lightly attended Monsters Inc. ride (today, when wait times for Radiator Springs Racers were pushing three hours, the wait time for Monsters Inc. was maybe ten minutes). Goofy's Sky School isn't exactly drawing huge crowds either, but it would be considerably more difficult to shoehorn a Frozen theme into a "Wild Mouse" roller coaster.
Where is mt Everest located in India?
Mount Everest is located on the border of Nepal and Tibet, not in New Zealand.
Did Andrew Irvine and George Mallory die on Mount Everest?
Yes, on June 8th, 1924 at about 2PM. Mallory and his climbing partner, Andrew Irvine were descending from their failed attempt to reach the summit. At 2PM, a severe snow squall began, forcing the two climbers to rope up. One of the slipped and pulled the other down. But Mallory was able to loop the rope over an ourcropping which stopped his fall, although inflicting a severe rope-jerk injury about his waist. Irvine fell farther and was incapacitated (but not killed).
Unable to find his partner in the raging squall, and himself in terrible pain, Mallory managed to descend another 300m before losing control in a glissade and crashing into a rock. at 8170m.
Irvine was either unconscious or paralyzed and could not move from where he fell. He did not die for several hours at least, his face becoming black with frostbit, according to Xu Jing, a Chinese climber who claimed to have spotted Irvine in 1960.

What are the slogan of Mount Everest?
In these hills, Nature's hospitality eclipses all men can ever do. The enchanting beauties of the Himalayas, their bracing climate and the soothing green that envelope you leaves nothing more to be desired. I wonder whether the scenery of these hills and the climate are to be surpassed, if qualified, by any of the beauty spots of the world.
Who was the first person to clime mount everest?
The first person to place two feet on Mount Everest was not actually Sir Edmund Hillary nor Tenzing Norgay, both on may 29, 1953. It was in fact Surveyor Andrew Waugh, who was the first to accurately measure Mount Everest as 29,000 feet exactly. But when he told people this extroadinary fact the public never believed him, and said it was all to unreal. This really annoyed Waugh and so he added another TWO feet onto the original measurement, therefore making the height of Mount Everest, 29,002 feet.
Get it? I never actually asked,'Who was the first person to place TWO biological human feet of their own onto the peak of mount everest' But ...yeah...Andrew Waugh was the first person to place TWO FEET, in measurement, onto Mount Everest. KwitderberSorry, He wasn't the actual person to "Place two feet" either. It was in fact Radhanath Sikdar who was an Indian mathematician who carried out a survey of the then named "Peak XV". He used trigonometry and was aided with a sextant. He discovered the height to be exactly (as far as it could be then) 29,000 ft and so added the extra 2 ft as he felt that know one would believe him. Waugh was the Surveyor who took over from George Everest and in honour named the Mountain after him.

The Andes are formed by the collision of the Nazca Plate (oceanic) and the South American Plate (continental). The collision causes the continental crust to buckle and form fold mountains which are then peppered with volcanoes caused by melting of the Nazca plate as it is forced down into the Earth's mantle.

NotesThe above is the standard information regarding elevations above sea level. However, the Hawaiian volcano Mauna Kea 13,796 feet above sea level, is a volcanic mountain that rises 33,000 feet from base to summit. When measured this way, Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world. Mauna Loa, with an elevation above sea level that is just a little under Mauna Kea, is also taller than Everest. Mauna Kea is the largest volcano in the world, with an estimated volume of 18,000 cubic miles.The summit of Equador's Mount Chimborazo has the distinction of being the point farthest from the center of the earth at an elevation of 20,700 feet above sea level. This is because of the slight bulge in the planet around the equator. Chimborazo is about one degree south of the equator.
