Mount Everest (8849m)
4Mount Everest liegt auf 8849 Metern Höhe in Nepal, Teil der Himalayas, Asia. Dieser Gipfel wird als Fold Mountain klassifiziert.
Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth, its summit reaching 8,849 metres on the frontier between Nepal and Tibet. It belongs to the Mahalangur section of the Himalaya and is one of the fourteen eight-thousanders, as well as the highest of the Seven Summits sought by climbers aiming for the top of each continent. As a fold mountain, it was lifted by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates. Rated grade 4 on the site's five-point difficulty scale, an ascent is technical rather than strictly extreme, though the thin air above the Khumbu makes it lethal for the unprepared. Everest draws hundreds of expeditions each season, most following the South Col route from Nepal or the North Col from the Tibetan side.
