Mount Everest
Mount Everest, also called Chomolungma or Qomolangma or Sagarmatha or Mt. Kalaish; is the highest mountain on Earth, as measured by the height of its summit above sea level. The mountain, which is part of the Himalaya range in High Asia, is located on the border between Nepal and Tibet, China. By the end of the 2006 climbing season there had been 3,050 ascents to the summit by 2,062 individuals, and at least 630 more ascents in 2007. There have been more than 200 deaths on the mountain, where conditions are so difficult that most corpses have been left where they fell; some are visible from standard climbing routes.
Climbers range from experienced mountaineers to relative novices who count on their paid guides to get them to the top. This means climbers are a significant source of tourist revenue for Nepal, whose government also requires all prospective climbers to obtain an expensive permit, costing up to $25,000 (USD) per person.

Everest conqueror dies, aged 88
Sir Edmund Hillary, who died on January 11th 2008, at the age of 88, made it to the summit of Everest in 1953, and became the first man on the planet to reach its highest point.
Sir Edmund's health had reportedly been in decline since April, when he suffered a fall while visiting Nepal.
New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark described the explorer as a heroic figure and said all New Zealanders would deeply mourn his passing.

When David Breashears agreed to climb Mount Everest with an IMAX camera in order to film from the summit, he had no idea that his little expedition would become embroiled in a tragedy that would make headlines around the world. On May 10, 1996, two expeditions led by experienced Everest guides Rob Hall and Scott Fisher summited the mountain, only to suffer the loss of eight members--including the two leaders--on the way back down. At the time, Breashears and his filmmaking crew were at the base camp preparing for their own climb--originally planned for that same day but postponed after realizing there would already be several other groups on the summit. Instead of making a film, Breashears and company participated in the rescue and only later reached the summit of Everest to successfully complete their film.

On the Nepalese side of the international frontier, the mountain and its surrounding valleys, which are speckled by rhododendrons and forests of birch and pine, are administered as Sagarmatha National Park, a 480-square-mile (1,243-square-km) zone established in 1976.
