MOUNT EVEREST Victoria Johnston Agency

• Mount Everest was named after George CA License # 0E54098

to 1843, who was the first person to
organize a team to measure the Himalayas
Mountains. George pronounced his name
in two syllables: “Eve-Rest” whereas
most people today pronounce it in three
syllables: “Ever-Rest.”
• One of his colleagues, a mathematician
and surveyor from India named Radhanath
Sikdar, was the first to estimate Mount
Everest’s height, calculating that it stood
29,000 feet tall (8839 m) and correctly
announcing it to be the tallest mountain in
the world.
• Located on the border of Tibet and Nepal,
Mount Everest is the highest mountain in
the world although its exact height is often
disputed. In 1955 a team of surveyors using
the best equipment of the day determined
that it stood 29,029 feet (8848 m) above
sea level. In 1999 a National Geographic
team placed a GPS device on the summit
and recorded the altitude as 29,035 feet
(8849 m). In 2005, a Chinese team used
even more precise instruments to measure
the mountain as it would stand without the
ice and snow accumulated on the summit.
Their official measurement came in at
29,017 feet (8844). An earthquake in 2015
may have changed its height. The officially
accepted height remains at 29,029 feet.

TO THE TOP OF EVEREST

• There are 18 ways to get to the top of Everest,
but only two routes are typically used. From
Nepal there’s the Southeast Ridge, the line
created by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund
Hilary in 1953. From Tibet, there’s the North
Ridge, where George Mallory disappeared in
1924. Almost twice as many expeditions start
from the Nepal side than from the Tibet side.

• Each has their own base camp, with the one in
Tibet being at 16,900 feet (5,150 m) and the
one in Nepal at 17,589 feet (5,364 m). From
Tibet, there are five camps at higher elevations,
and from Nepal, there are four.
