MOUNT EVEREST

An Introduction To Mount Everest

Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth. Mount Everest is in the Himalayas, the
highest mountain range in the world. It is about 8,848.00 metres (29,028.87 ft) high. Its peak
is on the border of Nepal and China. It is above the Death Zone where the air is too thin for a
human being to live, so usually compressed gas tanks with different gas mixes for different
altitudes are used when climbing. The Death Zone refers to the parts of Mount Everest that
are above 7,600 metres (24,900 ft) above sea level.
History
It was 1841 when an obscure peak in the Himalayas was recognized as the tallest mountain
in the world by a British survey team led by Sir George Everest, and whom Mount Everest
was named after in 1865. Today, climbers from across the world attempt to scale it’s mighty
face. For those who reach the summit of Mount Everest, they have climbed to the top of the
world. For many who fall short, injury and death is their fate. The allure of climbing to the
peak of Mount Everest has drawn climbers for over a century and no matter the risks it will
continue to draw explorers for years to come.

situated on  the boundaries of both Nepal and Tibet. In Nepal mt. Everst is better known as

and day hikes, waiting for the route to Everest’s summit to open in May.

Visitor And Tourism

Mount Everest is still the ultimate mountaineering adventure. To stand at the pinnacle of the
Earth is one of life's most rewarding experiences. The world’s highest garbage dump could
be as high as Mount Everest. With the increasing number of tourists comes a growing
amount of rubbish left behind on mountains: food wrappers, climbing gear, oxygen
cylinders, and even the bodies of climbers who died along the way. The frigid temperatures
mean trash does not biodegrade.
Problem Associated With Mount Everest
It's being described as the 'world's highest rubbish dump'. That's because Mount Everest, the
tallest mountain in the world, has a problem with climbers leaving their waste on the slopes -
both rubbish and poo.
The mountain is home to three tonnes of climbers' rubbish, left by adventurers visiting the
mountain. The waste includes tents and equipment left behind, as well as human waste from
mountaineers who need to go to the loo while they're up there.
As the climbing season comes to a close for another year, Nepal Army helicopters are being
used to lift some of the waste off the mountain.
The problem is that the rubbish is not only bad for the environment, but it could also spread
disease for other climbers on the mountain.
People living at Base Camp use melted snow for drinking water, which could be
contaminated with germs if other climbers aren't getting rid of their waste properly.
