- Ten known facts about Mount Everest
- Category : Mountaineering
- Ten known facts about Mount Everest: 1. Everest Has Multiple Names Mount Everest is called "Sagarmatha" in Nepali, meaning "Goddess of the Sky," and "Chomolungma" in Tibetan, meaning "Goddess Mother of the World." 2. A British Surveyor Gave Everest Its Name The mountain was named after Sir George Everest, a British surveyor-general of India, in 1865. Its local names, however, predate this 3. The First Climber Was a Mountain Guide Before Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay’s 1953 ascent, George Mallory, an English climber, and his Sherpa guide attempted to summit Everest in 1924. Their fate remains a mystery. 4. The Summit Can Feel Like Mars At the summit, oxygen levels are only one-third of those at sea level, and temperatures can drop to -60°C. Combined with high winds, conditions mimic those found on Mars. 5. The First Woman to Summit Was in 1975 Junko Tabei of Japan became the first woman to successfully climb Everest in 1975, breaking significant barriers in mountaineering. 6. The Dead Zone Is Deadly Above 8,000 meters, the "death zone" begins, where oxygen levels are insufficient to sustain human life for long periods. Most fatalities occur here due to altitude sickness or exhaustion. 7. The Youngest and Oldest Climbers The youngest person to summit Everest is Jordan Romero, who was 13 years old in 2010. The oldest is Yuichiro Miura, who reached the top at 80 years old in 2013. 8. Bodies Remain as Landmarks Due to the extreme difficulty of recovering bodies, many deceased climbers remain on the mountain. Some even serve as markers along the route. 9. Everest Is Visible from Space At 8,848.86 meters, Everest is tall enough to be spotted from space, making it an iconic geographical feature on Earth visible to astronauts. 10. You Don’t Always Need to Climb to See Everest The Everest region offers breathtaking views of the peak from trekking trails like Gokyo Ri and Tengboche without requiring technical climbing skills. These facts highlight the unique and challenging aspects of the world's highest mountain, making it an awe-inspiring natural wonder.
