Located in the border area with Nepal in Tingri Country, it is 8848 m (29,028 ft) high above sea level. It is the tallest mountain in the world. It is also called Sagarmatha in Nepali which means ‘Goddess of the Sky”. The Tibetan calls it Qomolangma which means “Goddess Mother of the World”). It received its official name in 1865 in honor of Sir George Everest, the British Surveyor General. Sir Grorge Everest was the first person to record the height and location of Mt. Everest; this is where Mt. Everest got its name.
Mount Everest was first climbed on May 29, 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary from New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay from Nepal via the South Col route. The first attempt was made by George H. L. Mallory, who died in an earlier attempt (1924).
