Picture yourself climbing the tallest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest. Many people have successfully scaled this mountain, but others have tried and failed. Mt. Everest has been called a Himalayan Wonder because of its geography and weather extremes (Urmann). By exploring the geography, the people who have tried to climb it, and the supplies you will need, one can see how brave the many people who tried to climb it have been.
People might wonder some basic geography of Mount Everest. The first aspect of the geography of mount everest is the elevation. First of all it is the talled above ground mountain with a whopping elevation of 29,035 said Rosenberg. Mooney said that some glaciers are melting up to 8,850 meters up witch is equal to 29,035 feet up. At Everest's highest point, you are breathing in a third of the amount of oxygen you would normally breathe due to the atmospheric pressure (Bromwich). The second aspect is the climate. The wind can blow over 200 mph(Arnette). The temperature can be -80 degrees fahrenheit (Arnette). The warmest temp on the summit was 3 degrees fahrenheit (Urmann).
The third main aspect of the basic geography is the history of Mount Everest. May 10 1993 40 climbers reached the summit that’s the most ever in one day (Bromwich). 1865 it was named after Sir George Everest (Arnette). Mount Everest is of 60 million years old (Arnette).

Living conditions for plants and animals can be very difficult resulting in certain birds and mosses surviving at high altitudes. The weather conditions for climbers can be rigorous with strong winds and altitude sicknesses.
One of the many reasons that people want to make their way up the gigantic and intimidating mountain is because of the beauty that has been reported as one of the top places to see the most magnificent sights. This is why a lot of the population who have climbed the mountain have done just that. They wanted to have the experience of standing on top of Mount Everest looking over what they just climbed and staring at pure beauty. Although several have been said to find the scenery one hundred percent worth the vigorous climb, many also say they were disappointed on what they come across once reaching the top. Several have been said to reach the top of this mountain and
An estimated 282 people have died on Mount Everest since the year of 1924. Considered one of the highest peaks in the world, Everest has drawn experienced climbers and thrill-seeking adventurers to it for years with hopes of reaching the summit of the massive mountain. This snowy, beast isn't your average climb though. Many intrepid climbers have faced it with the plan of making an easy, quick climb, but they would be surprised when a sudden blizzard whips up on a seemingly clear day or when one of their fellow climbers happen to wander straight into a crevasse! Everest is filled with hidden dangers and other threats that have taken many lives upon its treacherous slopes. Whether it be a sudden change of weather or an unexpected avalanche climbers

Everest gave me a lot of information of different things happening on Mt. Everest. There are a lot of storms on the mountain, and the mountain makes it’s own weather. Climbing Mt. Everest I would never know when a storm would hit. I would just have to make a guess by what the weather looks like at the time. I would need lots of oxygen. Oxygen is one of the most important tools to have on the climb of Mt. Everest. Especially when you get to the death zone, because my body would be dying at that point of the mountain, and I would die if I didn't have any oxygen. The movie also showed me no matter how much of an experienced climber I could be, you can always get lost easily. The same goes with death. I could be the world's best mountain climber, but when it comes to Mt. Everest I could die any moment on that mountain if I’m not careful. Death is an important issue if I am climbing Mt. Everest. Lots of people die climbing the mountain. It would be hard to climb the mountain with my family. It would be a very traumatic vacation to do with my family. If I was to climb Mt. Everest it would have to be with people that are not in my family circle. It would be very sad to see my family suffer through all the hard and painful things to experience to get to the top of the mountain. Getting to the top is harder than it looks. I watched the movie Mt. Everest, and people lost their hands, nose, and even their lives. It would take a lot of heart and dedication to

Its formation began about 10 or 16 million years ago during the Miocene, when the summit of the future Everest lay still below sea level and the violent collision of the Indian subcontinent (Deccan shield), separated from Africa, with the continent Asian (Siberian shield) marked the beginning of the first elevation of the chain. According to such an interpretation, related to the theory of "drifting continents" (which has not been accepted by all), it took at least 5 million years for Everest to rise from the waters and be pushed, during the eras Which followed, to more than 7,000 meters of height. This movement was a violent colosión in which two great masses of land collided, with such force that this mountain suggested of the waters and formed what is denominated an "alpina" mountain range.
