Mount Everest is one of the Seven Summits in dunia.Radhanath Main Sikdar, surveyors and mathematicians from Bengal, was the first to declare Mount Everest as the tallest peak through trigonometric calculations in 1852. This calculation is done using a theodolite from a distance of 150 miles away in India. Most of the people of India believe that the peak should be named after Sikdar, not Everest.
This mountain has an altitude of about 8850 m, although there are variations in size (both Nepal and the Chinese government has not officially endorsed this measure, the height of Mount Everest is still regarded by their 8848 m).

However, Chimborazo only reached an altitude of 6272 m above sea face, so it is not even the highest peaks in Andes.Dasar deepest oceans deeper than the height of Everest: the Challenger Deep, located in the Mariana Trench, so if the mountain in the Himalayas to put in it , there are nearly 1.6 miles of water covering it.

However, the most famous is the north-eastern or Polish Glacier, a common route .The Mountain created by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American plate during the geologically recent Andean orogeny, but not a volcano. The origins of the name is disputed, it is either of Arauca Aconca - Hue, which refers to the Aconcagua River and means' coming from the other side ', which Cahuak Ackon Quechua, meaning' Sentinel of Stone ', or Quechua Anco Cahuac,' White Sentinel '. first endeavour history on Aconcagua by a European in 1883 was made by a party led by the German geologist and explorer Paul Güssfeldt. Bribing the porters with the story that there was treasure on the mountain, he approached the mountain via the Rio Volcan, making two attempts on the summit ridge to the north-west and reached an altitude of 6500 meters (21 300 feet). The route that he prospected is now the normal route up the first ascent gunung.Tercatat was in 1897 in the British expedition led by Edward FitzGerald.
