Mount Everest

Unique and spectacular Just like the world’s highest mountain
The highest mountain on Earth it reaches a majestic 8,850 meters feet/ yards) into the heavens. Mount Everest is one of the “Seven Summits”, which include the highest mountain on each of the seven continents. Its climate is very extreme, with temperatures in the coldest month dropping down to -60 °C And when the south-western jet stream slams against the summit, wind speeds of up to 285 kilometers per hour occur. Enormous snowfalls of up to 3 meters daily are not uncommon and an ascent is only possible during one of the rare “windows”, which provide more or less stable weather. The New Zealander Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa Tenzing Norgay were the first to reach the top on May 29,1953. This event was celebrated internationally as the conquest of the “third pole”. Around 3,680 ascents have been recorded to date.
