Nepal, Mount Everest

Mount Everest is Earth's highest mountain. It is located in the Mahalangur mountain range in Nepal and Tibet. It's  peak is 8,848 metres above sea level. The international border between China (Tibet Autonomous Region) and Nepal runs across Everest's precise summit point.

Mount Everest attracts many climbers, some of them highly experienced mountaineers. There are two main climbing routes, one approaching the summit from the southeast in Nepal (known as the standard route) and the other from the north in Tibet. While not posing substantial technical climbing challenges on the standard route, Everest presents dangers such as altitude sickness, weather, wind as well as significant objective hazards from avalanches and the Khumbu Icefall. As of 2016, there are well over 200 corpses still on the mountain, with some of them even serving as landmarks.
