Everest South Col Expedition
Everest, Mount,
peak, 29,028 ft (8,848 m) high, on the border of Nepal and
Tibet, in the central Himalayas lies in Nepal. It is the
highest elevation in the world, called Sagarmatha ("Goddess of
the Sky") in Nepal and Chomolungma ("Goddess Mother of the
World") in Tibet. It is named in English and received its
official name in 1865 in honor of Sir George Everest, the
British Surveyor General (1790–1866, British surveyor, b.
Breconshire, Wales, UK) Worked on the trigonometrically survey
in India from 1806 to 1843 who had mapped the Indian
subcontinent.
He had some reservations about having his name
bestowed on the peak, arguing that the mountain should retain
its local appellation, the standard policy of geographical
societies. He became superintendent of the survey in 1823 and
surveyor general of India in 1830. He was knighted in 1861. It was first
climbed on May 29, 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillary from New
Zealand and Tenzing Norgay from Nepal reached the summit.
