Mount Everest
•Mount Everest was nicknamed as Mr. Everest by Kevin Newman.
•Mount Everest is ranked number four on the best climbs in the world list created by National Geographic.
•The mountain is located in Nepal, more specifically, in Khumbu Valley.
•It is 29,035 feet tall which is 8,856 meters and it has the tallest peak in the world.
•It is considered an extreme accomplishment to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, it allows people to claim that they are at the top of the world.
•Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary were the first ascenders of the mountain back in 1953.
•It got its name from George Everest back in 1856.
•George Mallory, who was included in a British team, was the first person to step foot on the mountain. •On Everest, granite sills are typical of the area. The intrusion process was basically sills making space via hydraulic fracturing along bedding/foliation planes in the dark metamorphic rock. Dykes allow flow between sills.
• The barren South east, Northeast, and West ridges culminate in the Everest summit. The mountain can be seen directly from its northeastern side, where it rises about 12,000 feet above the Plateau of Tibet. The peak of Changtse rises to the north. Khumbutse, Nuptse, and Lhotse surround Everest’s base to the west and south.
•The 1996 Mount Everest disaster refers to the events of 10–11 May 1996, when eight people were caught in a blizzard and died on Mount Everest during summit attempts. In the entire season, around fifteen people died trying to reach the summit, making it the deadliest year in Mount Everest's history until the 2014 avalanche. The disaster gained wide publicity and raised questions about the commercialization of Everest.
•Many operations that were charging $65,000 in the ‘90s are still selling trips at that same rate in 2013.
