One of the Seven Summits, Mount Everest, known in
Nepali as
Sagarmāthā and in
Tibetan as
Chomolungma, is
Earth's
highest mountain above
sea level, located in the
Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the
Himalayas. The international border between
China (
Tibet Autonomous Region) and
Nepal (
Province No. 1) runs across its
summit point.
The current official elevation of 8,848 m (29,029 ft), recognised by China and Nepal, was established by a 1955 Indian survey and subsequently confirmed by a Chinese survey in 1975.
[1] In 2005, China remeasured the rock height of the mountain, with a result of 8844.43 m. There followed an argument between China and Nepal as to whether the official height should be the rock height (8,844 m., China) or the snow height (8,848 m., Nepal). In 2010, an agreement was reached by both sides that the height of Everest is 8,848 m, and Nepal recognises China's claim that the rock height of Everest is 8,844 m.
