Sir Edmund Hillary

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.

He did this because he made so many good friends who were not that well off and he wanted to do what he could to help a poor country at the time.

The Hillary Step is a perpendicular upright mass of rock that is around forty feet in height. To reach it you must climb the South East Ridge route from the Nepal side of Mount Everest. The Hillary Step lies at approx 28,840 feet above the sea level, between the South summit and the true summit. It is the last major obstacle before reaching the top of the world.

Someone

žSir Edmund Hillary said, when he went to Antarctica, he wore a singlet with two long sleeve tops on top, a jumper and a big snow jacket. For the bottom half of him, Sir Edmund Hillary said he wore skins with a tracksuit on top and a big thick pair of pants. He wore thick boots, thick warm gloves, goggles and a beanie.

First of all he was a Nepalese and the British did not like to give the knighthood to anyone from a third world country even if he was from the country that has done so mush for Great Britain and at the same time the then prime minister of India jawarharl Nerhu had lobbied against him being Knighted as from the time of India's Independence it wanted to suppress and punish Nepal as Nepal had helped the British to reign over Hindustan aka India for more than 200 years.

In the 1960s, he returned to Nepal, to aid in the development of the society, building clinics, hospitals and 17 schools. hey hey hey... who changed the answer ?

Lockyer later went on to lead an expedition to claim Western Australia for Britain. He established a military base at King Georges Sound which originally bore the name of Frederick's Town: it was later renamed Albany.
