Mount Everest is a peak in the Himalayan mountain range. It is located between
Nepal and Tibet, a region of China. At 8,849 metres (29,032 feet), it is
considered the tallest point on Earth. In the nineteenth century, the mountain
was named after George Everest, a former Surveyor General of India. The
Tibetan name is Chomolungma, which means "Mother Goddess of the World.”
The first ever recorded people to climb Everest were Edmund Hillary (a
mountaineer from New Zealand) and his Tibetan guide Tenzing Norgay. They
climbed the mountain in 1953 and hold the record together. The first records of
Everest’s height came much earlier, in 1856. British surveyors recorded that
Everest was the tallest peak in the world. The Himalayan mountains have long
been home to local groups living in the valleys. The most famous of these are
the Sherpa people. The word "Sherpa" is often used to mean mountain guide,
though it actually refers to an ethnic group. The Sherpa have valuable
experience in mountain climbing, which they can provide to other climbers.
Most climbs of Everest would be impossible without the Sherpas' help and
knowledge. However, their way of life extends beyond helping Everest climbers.
Traditionally, their lifestyle has consisted of farming, herding, and trade.
Climbing Mount Everest has become a popular journey for mountain climbers.
However, it is very risky. Climbing Everest requires a lot of experience
mountaineering elsewhere, as well as a certificate of good health, equipment,
and a trained Nepalese guide. The snow and ice on the mountain create deadly
dangers, and there is only a limited climbing season due to bad weather
conditions like snowstorms. But perhaps the most serious danger is the
altitude. Most climbers are not used to the high altitude and low oxygen levels.
This is why the area above 8,000 metres (26,000 feet) on Everest is called the
“death zone.” Climbers who spend long periods in this region can develop
altitude sickness.
