Mount Everest (Nepal/Tibet)

Mount Everest stands as the highest point on Earth at 8,848.86 meters above sea level.

Everest lies on the border between Nepal and Tibet (China).

The mountain is named after Sir George Everest, a British surveyor.

Known as “Sagarmatha” in Nepal and “Chomolungma” in Tibet.

Temperatures can drop below -60°C with winds over 300 km/h.

First summited in 1953 by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.

Above 8,000 meters is called the “Death Zone” due to low oxygen.

Everest is still growing due to tectonic plate movement.

Climbing Everest represents determination, courage, and human limits.
