Mt. Everest

You definitely know what Mt. Everest is. It is the highest summit in the world and did you know that it is higher than how high planes fly. Compare this. A normal man could be 6 feet tall while the Empire State Building is 1,454 feet tall, While Mt. Mickinley towers over with 20,308 feet. Finally, Mt. Everest dominates them with 29,029 feet, marking the highest summit ever. The oldest person to ever do it is Yuichiro Miura at age of 80. the youngest person to reach the summit is Jordan Romero at age 13. Can you believe that! the first person is Hillary and Nepalese Sherpa. Most of the climbers were unsuccessful, they might have broken a limb or got swallowed in an avalanche. But the big question is, who will be the next one to reach the summit?
