Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. According to the 2005 Chinese National Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, the rock face height was 8,844.43 meters (29,017.2 feet). Nepal uses the traditional snow cover height of 8, 848 meters (29,029 feet). Since 2010, the two countries have officially recognized each other's measurement data. In addition to being the highest mountain, it is also the fifth furthest peak from the center of the earth.
Mount Everest is in the shape of a giant pyramid, with its head raised high into the sky. The terrain is extremely steep and the environment is very complex. Snow line height: 5800-6200 meters on the north slope and 5500-6100 meters on the south slope. There are three steep walls (north wall, east wall and southwest wall) sandwiched between the northeast ridge, southeast ridge and west mountain ridge. There are 548 continental glaciers distributed between these ridges and cliffs, with a total area of ??1457.07k_ and an average thickness of 7260 meters.
The supply of glaciers is mainly formed by the metamorphism of snow in the two major precipitation belts of the Indian Ocean monsoon belt. On the glacier there are various, magnificent and rare serac forests, as well as ice cliffs tens of meters high, bright and dark ice fissures with traps, and dangerous ice and avalanche areas.
Mount Everest is not only majestic and majestic, but also majestic. Within 20 kilometers around it, there are many peaks and mountains. There are more than 40 peaks above 7,000 meters above sea level alone. The more famous ones are "Lhotse Peak" 3 kilometers to the south (8,516 meters above sea level, the fourth highest peak in the world) and Zhuoqiong Peak at 7,589 meters above sea level. To the southeast is Ma Karu Peak (8463 meters above sea level, the fifth highest peak in the world), 3 kilometers to the north is Zhangzi Peak with an altitude of 7543 meters, and to the west are Nuptse Peak (7855 meters) and Pumori Peak (7145 meters).
On the periphery of these giant peaks, there are some world-class peaks facing each other in the distance: to the southeast is the world’s third highest peak, Kangchenjunga (8,585 meters above sea level, the boundary peak between Nepal and India); The 7998-meter Gezhongkang Peak, the 8201-meter Cho Oyu Peak and the 8012-meter Shishapangma Peak. It forms a magnificent scene of peaks approaching and the peaks surging.
The most recent measurement of Mount Everest was in 1999 by the National Geographic Society using the GPS global satellite positioning system. They believed that the altitude of Mount Everest should be 8,850 meters. The altitude of Mount Everest once recognized by countries around the world was measured by the People's Republic of China and the National Mountaineering Team in 1975, and it was 8848.13 meters above sea level. But the outside world also has many opinions such as 8848 meters, 8840 meters, 8850 meters, 8882 meters, etc.
On May 22, 2005, China accurately measured the height of Mount Everest. The rock face height of Mount Everest is 8844.43 meters (the accuracy is controlled within ±0.21 meters, and the thickness of ice and snow on the peak is 3.5 meters). The top is located in China, and the data of 8848.13 meters in 1975 is discontinued. Both heights have their own meaning - total height (height of snow cover) is different from bare height (height of rock face): what the climber ascends is the overall height, and bare height is the geological height.
The Himalayan region where Mount Everest is located was originally an ocean. Over the long geological time, a large amount of gravel and silt were washed away from the land and accumulated in the Himalayas, forming a 3-meter-thick formation. Marine sedimentary rock formations of more than 10,000 meters. Later, due to strong orogeny, the Himalayan Mountains were squeezed and raised violently. According to estimates, the average rise is about 20 to 30 meters every 10,000 years. To this day, the Himalayan Mountains are still rising, with an average rise of 20 to 30 meters every 100 years. It rises 7 centimeters per year.
As time goes by, the height of Mount Everest will continue to change due to the movement of geographical plates. Interestingly, although Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world, its summit is not the farthest point from the center of the earth. This particular point belongs to the Chimborazo Mountains in South America. The tall and majestic image of Mount Everest has always had a huge impact locally and around the world.
It is located in the middle section of the Himalayas at the junction of China's Tibet Autonomous Region and Nepal, with 27°59′15.85″ north latitude and 86°55′39.51″ east longitude.

The Tibetan word "job-moglang-marib" (Qomolangma) means "Mother of the Earth". In Tibetan, Jo-mo "Zhumu" means goddess, and glang-ma "Langma" should be understood as female elephant (in Tibetan, gland-ma has two meanings: alpine willow and female elephant). Mythology says that Mount Everest is the palace where the long-lived five-goddess (the-ringchildga) lives.
There is another English saying that appears many times in middle school textbooks, namely MountQomolangma or QomolangmaMount. This peak is generally called Mount Everest or Mount Everest in the West to commemorate George Everest, director of the Survey of India who was responsible for measuring the Himalayas when the British occupied Nepal. The Nepali name is Sagarmatha, which means "goddess of the sky". This name was given by the Nepali government in the 1960s. Previously, the Nepali people had not given this mountain a name, and the government did not choose to use a transliterated name due to political reasons.

It is not very difficult to find a hitchhike from Shigatse-Lazi County to Xindingri, but the chance of finding a hitchhiker in the remaining 100 kilometers to the base camp is very low, so it is recommended to charter a bus from Lhasa or Shigatse Going is the safest option. Before leaving Xindingri, go through the mountain entry procedures at the hotel at the intersection of Xindingri. Cars entering the area must pay a road construction fee based on the number of wheels, which is 100 yuan per wheel. Walk 11 kilometers along the China-Nepal Highway and turn left when you see the sign for the Mount Everest Reserve, and say goodbye to the asphalt road. (Old Base Camp) The new Everest Base Camp will be moved back 19 kilometers (Old Base Camp is permanently closed) without charge.
