Mount Everest
This natural landmark is Mount Everest. It is the tallest mountain in the world above sea level. People can find it in the Himalayas. It is 29,031.7 feet (8,848.86 meters) in height. The mountain attracts climbers from around the world. New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Nepali Sherpa Tenzing Norgay made the first successful ascent in 1953. Since then, many more have. Unfortunately, human waste from visitors has reached critical levels on Mount Everest.
