What is the highest mountain in the world?

Mount Everest

Everest reaches a height of 8,848.86 meters since 2020 according to the China National Geographic Information Surveying and Mapping Bureau and the Nepalese Department of Survey, including snow and ice at the summit. This giant attracts experienced climbers each year, but its conquest is not without risk. The "Death Zone" above 8,000 meters is particularly formidable due to its extreme conditions. In May 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first to reach the summit, marking a historic moment in mountaineering.
