It is Mount Everest.
On May 5, 1999, climbers using GPS (Global Positioning System) equipment determined a new height for Mt. Everest - 29,035 (8,850 meters), above sea level, seven feet (2.1 meters) above the accepted height of 29,028 feet.
They've also determined that the Himalayan Mountains are still growing higher, at a rate of about 2.4 in/6.1cm per year.
The National Geographic Society, which co-sponsored the expedition with Boston's Museum of Science, stated that it will accept the new elevation of 29,035 feet (8,850 meters), over the elevation determined in 1954 by the Survey of India. National Geographic will modify all of their future maps and globes.
