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.

Genres: ,She is the highest mountain in the world and known to those who live at her base as Chomolungma, “Mother Goddess of the World.” Fifty years ago, in May 1953, New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay became the first human beings to conquer Everest. Ten years later, National Geographic’s Barry Bishop followed and survived, but suffered severe frostbite that later resulted in the loss of his toes. Now, many decades after these historic first ascents, the sons of these men, all accomplished climbers in their own right – Jamling Tenzing Norgay, Peter Hillary and Brent Bishop – confront the mountain. They join expedition leader Pete Athans, a man who has climbed Everest more than any other Westerner, to attempt a double-route summit. One group will attempt to climb the extremel...
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...

David Breashears relives the rescue effort to save climbers who were stranded near the summit of Mount Everest during a ferocious storm on May 10, 1996.
National Geographic: French pilot Didier Delsalle touches down on top of the world in a controversial Everest first. Ever since Hillary and Norgay claimed first dibs to the summit of Everest in 1953, others have attempted their own "firsts" on the 29,035-foot (8,850-meter) peak. But on May 14, 2005, test pilot Didier Delsalle, 48, of the French company Eurocopter made Everest and aviation history by landing his unmodified turbo engine AS350 B3 helicopter on the world's tallest mountaintop. His solo flight broke the unofficial record for highest helicopter landing, previously held by Nepalese Lt. Col. Madan Khatri Chhetri, who in 1996 rescued climbers Beck Weathers and Makulu Gau near Camp I at approximately 20,000 feet (6,096 meters). (The record for the highest helicopter flight is 40,820...

Its a challenging trek that takes you up to 18,500ft over 10 days starting in Kathmandu. This is a brief summary of what I did in the past year to prepare for the trip.

In part five (and last) of my video travel guide to India I trek into the Himalayas along the famed Singalila Ridge, a picturesque trail that winds its way between Nepal and India, and through multiple small Himalayan villages. The highlight is the morning sunrise over the third highest mountain in the world, Mount Kanchenjunga, as well the views of Mount Everest in the far distance.
Jody and Perry are voyagers, backpackers, thrill seekers. They crave adventure and have travelled far and wide across this wondrous planet of ours. Being an avid traveller myself, I know how testing this can be on yourself and the people you travel with. Your true colours appear in these situations, and like a battlefield, it's where friendships are won and lost. Sitting down in my meeting with Jody and Perry and listening to their stories was affirmation for me that these two had experienced a lot together with travel being their biggest test. The journey they had been on had only strengthened their friendship and nourished their love for one another. They understand each other like no one else and have developed into the perfect team. On March 18th 2016 another destination was crossed ...
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,
