Mount Everest, also known in Nepal as Sagarmāthā and in Tibet as Chomolungma, is Earth's highest mountain. It is located in the Mahalangur mountain range in Nepal and Tibet. Its peak is 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) above sea level. It is not the furthest summit from the centre of the Earth. That honour goes to Mount Chimborazo, in the Andes. The international border between China (Tibet Autonomous Region) and Nepal runs across Everest's precise summit point. Its massif includes neighbouring peaks Lhotse, 8,516 m (27,940 ft); Nuptse, 7,855 m (25,771 ft) and Changtse, 7,580 m (24,870 ft).
In 1856, the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India established the first published height of Everest, then known as Peak XV, at 8,840 m (29,002 ft). The current official height of 8,848 m (29,029 ft) as recognised by China and Nepal was established by a 1955 Indian survey and subsequently confirmed by a Chinese survey in 1975. In 1865, Everest was given its official English name by the Royal Geographical Society upon a recommendation by Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India. Waugh named the mountain after his predecessor in the post, Sir George Everest, arguing that there were many local names, against the opinion of Everest.

Plot: Abigail is a typical teenager. When an angel tells her she's been chosen to have God's child, her first instinct is to look for a way out. Family and friends aren't much help: Mom is too fed up with her to listen, her stepfather can't understand her, her real father has moved on. And her boyfriend has begun to suspect her of cheating on him. Eventually she abandons her comfortable middle-class life for the streets of Boston, where she hooks up with a group of runaways led by the enigmatic Sultan. But just when a new kind of happiness starts to feel within reach, Abigail suddenly finds herself more alone than ever. Drawing on Dreyer, Godard and "Joan of Arcadia," Absent Father is a meditation on love, freedom, and the quest for grace in a complicated, often chaotic world.

ABC Turning Point tells the story of the horrific events on Mt. Everest last May, when dozens of climbers became trapped and eight died due to weather, to human error, and to overcrowding and amateurs on Earth's tallest mountain. (One mistake that cost the climbers potentially lifesaving time came, the program says, because a Sherpa guide who was supposed to be helping set ropes for the group was engaged in towing New York socialite Sandy Pittman up the mountain.) Utilizing videotape from the base camps and testimony from the survivors--including a Texas doctor who lost his nose to frostbite and Outside contributor Jon Krakauer, who was climbing for a story on commercialization overwhelming Everest--ABC and correspondent Forrest Sawyer tell an unforgettable story of heroes and fools and th...
It was May 19, 2012 and a young and determined Canadian was proudly standing on top of the world after an agonizingly slow climb up Mount Everest. Shriya Shah-Klorfine had reached the summit. But in the hours that followed, things would go dreadfully wrong and she would perish, like hundreds before her, high up in Everest's "Death Zone." Since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's first ascent of Everest almost 60 years ago, it has been an irresistible fascination for aspiring mountaineers. Hundreds make the attempt every year, and many don't make it. This year was no exception as hundreds made their way to the summit even as worrying signs pointed to trouble. Among them was Shriya Shah-Klorfine, the cheerful and energetic Torontonian. She had never climbed a mountain before, and despite wa...

Ok, here we go
I confess I wasn't perfect but you're old enough to know
When good times fade to bad, it leaves fear and desperation
Bestowed upon my mind
I lost sight of the mountain
Horizon fades away
Darling, darling, I, oh I'm trying but my
Reasons are falling down, the slopes of Everest
Too steep to slow my fall
'cause you know I can't stand when we crawl
I promised you paradise and I won't stop till I find it,
God knows I need you now
Pretended not to care but is it so hard to believe,
I only wanted you to want me
I lost sight of the mountain
Horizon fades away
Darling, darling, I, oh I'm trying but my
Reasons are falling down, the slopes of Everest
Too steep to slow my fall
'cause you know I can't stand when we crawl
Darling, darling, I, oh I'm trying but my
Reasons are falling down, the slopes of Everest
Too steep to slow my fall,
Climbed up way too high to hear my call
I shout darling, darling, don't fall by the wayside now,
You shroud my sky but you never ever told me why
So welcome to nowhere, the wilderness where you belong,
Everest your only friend
But I'll still be your bearing, on a compass I thought was broken,
