Where is Mount Everest?
Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world stretching 29,035 feet toward the sky. Only around 3,000 people have reached the summit and hundreds more have died trying. The mountain lies on the edge of the Tibetan plateau. It separates the countries of Nepal (where Everest is called Sagarmatha meaning “goddess of the sky”) and Tibet (where Everest is called Chomolungma meaning “goddess mother of the world”). The exact coordinates are Lat 27 degrees 59′ N, Long 86 degrees 56′ E. The corpses of approximately 120 climbers remain on the mountain.
