Mount Everest

Some people call the highest mountains In the Word Mount Everest „Air Bird”, the others „Goddess-Mother of the World”, the others “Sagarmatha”. European people use only one word “Everest”, which means symbol of challenge. The height of Everest is 8850 and it belongs to the highest mountains range in the world Himalaji. The wind blows here with speed of 200 km/h and has influence on the weather in the Central Asia. In tepid season considerable quantity of snow falls in Himalaji, which doesn’t melt above 6400m. Mass of snow break into the pieces under out burden and fall down with a great roar. The birth of Mount Everest began millions of years ago under the bottom if ancient sea. 60 mln years ago plate, on which India lays now, began to move to the North. The crash with Euro-Asian plate caused that the Bottom of Tetyda Sea drived into Asia, compressed it, pushed up and crushed. Lighter sediments and rocks piled up, giving the birth to Himalaji 25 mln years ago. That’s why Himalaji are relatively young mountains and they continue to grow. Everest has been the highest peak of the world for millions years, but we have known this fact only for 150 years. Sir George Everest discovered in1852 that this mountain is the highest mountain in the world. The first expedition to Himalaji was in the year 1922. Unfortunately expedition wasn’t successful and they couldn’t conquer Everest. Only in 1953 the expedition was successful. Edmund Hillary from New Zeland and Tan zing Norgay from India climber into the top.
More than 600 people repeated the deed of Hillary and Tan zing. Mount Everest the death of 150 people, but this fact doesn’t discourage climbers. I have chosen this place because I think it is the most interesting and dangerous place in the world.
