Mount Everest Videos Expeditions




Mount Everest is the top 1 tallest mountain in the world 29,028 height in feet. Nepal it is where Mount Everest located, many tourist in Nepal are all climbers every year of its season many climbers go there to climb Mount Everest.

Radhanath Sikdar, an Indian mathematician and surveyor from Bengal, was the first to identify Everest as the world's highest peak in 1852, using trigonometric calculations based on measurements of "Peak XV" (as it was then known) made with theodolites from 240 km (150 miles) away in India. Measurement could not be made from closer due to a lack of access to Nepal. Peak XV was found to be exactly 29,000 feet (8,839 m) high, but was publicly declared to be 29,002 feet (8,840 m). The arbitrary addition of 2 feet (0.6 m) was to avoid the impression that an exact height of 29,000 feet was nothing more than a rounded estimate.

Here are some videos I want to share with you how hard it is to climb Mount Everest, and let you see how beautiful Mount Everest is..
