Mount Everest is the highest peak on Earth, standing at 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet).
Known as "Sagarmatha" in Nepal and "Chomolungma" in Tibet, it marks the border between the two countries.
The first successful ascent of Everest was made in 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
Climbers face extreme weather, thin air, and treacherous terrain, making the summit a formidable challenge.
The “death zone” above 8,000 meters is where oxygen levels are too low for the human body to function properly.
The climb is dangerous, with high risks of avalanches, crevasses, and altitude sickness.
Despite its dangers, Everest remains a symbol of human perseverance and adventure.
