Mount Everest

 Mount Everest, the highest peak on Earth at 8,848 meters (29,029 feet), is known as a formidable challenge for climbers. It is part of the Himalayan mountain range and straddles the China(Tibetan)-Nepal border, with the summit marking the official boundary. Sixty million years went into forming this unmistakable wonder, and thus its geological composition is mainly metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. Known in Nepal as Sagarmatha and in Tibet as Chomolungma, translating to "Mother Goddess of the World," Everest's English name comes from George Everest, a notable surveyor of India.
