The highest mountain in the
world. A peak of the great Himilaya, Mt Everest looms above
the frontier between Tibet and Napal. Its elevation as of 1954
was between 29,028 and 29,040 ft. Local name of the peak is
"CHOMOLUNGMA" or Goddess Mother of the World.
From the summit of Mt Everest,
the Northeast Ridge descends to a shoulder, and from there the
North Ridge falls to a saddle with the North Col below which
the Rongbuk and the East Rongbuk glaciers flow northward into
Tibet. The Southeast Ridge drops to the South Col, below which
lies a basin called the Western Cwm, feeding the Khumbar
glacier. This glacier turns southward in Napal. The Western
Ridge runs down to a pass on the frontier. At the mountain's
base the altitude is 17,000-18,000 ft. The North Col's
altitude is 22,900 ft, the South Col is 25,850 ft. To date the
Mountain has been climbed 35 times.
