About me

There's more to Mount Everest than just being the highest peak in the world. The snow-covered rocky summit still grows by a third of an inch and moves north-eastward by 3 inches in a year. How cool is that? Here are more interesting facts about the colossal located in the Himalaya mountains on the border between Nepal and Tibet. Its Tibetan name is Chomolangma meaning "The Goddess Mother of Snows" while the Nepalese call it Sagarmatha for "Mother of the Universe". Its English name first was used by the British taking it from the Surveyor General's name, George Everest.
