According to the myth, Mount Everest is the palace where the tshering mched lnga lives. It is generally called Mount Everest in the west tocommemorate George Everest, the director of the Survey Bureau of India, who wasresponsible for surveying the Himalayas when the British occupied Nepal. Themost recent measurement of Mount Everest was made in 1999 by the NationalGeographic Society of the United States using the global positioning system.They believed that the altitude of Mount Everest should be 8850 meters. Thealtitude of Mount Everest, now recognized by the people's Republic of China, wasdetermined by the mountaineering team of the people's Republic of China in 1975,which is 8848.13 meters. But the outside world also has 8848 meters, 8840meters, 8850 meters, 8882 meters and other statements. Recently, on May 22,20__, the mountaineering team of the people's Republic of China successfullyclimbed to the top of Mt. Everest to accurately measure the height of Mt.Everest again. The new height of Mt. Everest is 8844.43 meters. At the sametime, 8848.13m in 1975 was stopped. Interestingly, although Mount Everest is thehighest peak in the world, its peak is not the farthest point from the earth'scenter. This particular spot belongs to the Chimborazo mountains in SouthAmerica. The towering image of Mount Everest has been influencing the local andeven the whole world. The back of the fourth edition of RMB 10 is MountEverest.
At the foot of Mount Qomolangma, there is Rongbu temple, the highest templein the world. At the same time, Rongbu temple is also the best place to watchMount Qomolangma, with a straight-line distance of 25 km.
Most of the mountains in Western China are long and steep. Located on theborder of China's Tibet Autonomous Region with Nepal, India and other countries,the Himalayan Mountains stretch for more than 2400 kilometers, with an averageelevation of more than 6000 meters. They are the most magnificent mountains inthe world.
In the Himalayas, there are more than 50 peaks at an altitude of more than7000 meters, 16 peaks at an altitude of more than 8000 meters, and the famousones are Nanfeng, Xisha Bangma and Gancheng Zhangjia. "Himalaya" means "land ofice and snow" in Tibetan. It is covered with ice and snow all the year round.The ice peaks are like swords leaning on the sky, and the glaciers are likesilver snakes winding. The most towering is Mount Qomolangma, which is locatedon the border between China and Nepal. It is 8844.43 meters high and is thehighest peak in the world.
Mount Qomolangma has a high potential and unique geographical environment.The lowest temperature at the top of the mountain is minus 30-40 ℃ all the yearround. In some parts of the mountain, snow does not melt all the year round, andglaciers, ice slopes and ice pagodas can be seen everywhere. The oxygen contentof the air is only a quarter of that of the eastern plain area, and there areoften strong winds of magnitude 7-8. Strong winds of force 12 are not uncommon.Wind blowing snow, flying everywhere, filled the sky. Mount Qomolangma is ofgreat scientific research value, which has been noticed for a long time. In1960, Chinese mountaineers and scientists overcame many difficulties and madethe first ascent to the top of Mount Everest from the north slope, creating anunprecedented miracle in the history of mountaineering in the world. Since the1960s, Chinese scientists have carried out a comprehensive investigation of theEverest region, and obtained rich and valuable data in many aspects, such aspaleontology, physical geography, alpine climate, modern glaciers and landforms.In 1975, with the cooperation of the Chinese mountaineering team, Chinesesurveying and mapping workers climbed Mount Everest again, measured its heightaccurately, and drew a detailed map of the area. All these provide an extremelyimportant scientific basis for China to develop and utilize the naturalresources of the Tibetan Plateau.
The Himalayan region where Mount Qomolangma is located used to be an ocean.In a long geological period, a large amount of gravel and sand were washed fromthe land and accumulated in the Himalayan region, forming a marine sedimentaryrock layer with a thickness of more than 30000 meters. Later, due to the strongorogeny, the Himalayas were squeezed and uplifted violently. According to thecalculation, the average elevation is about 20-30 meters every 10000 years. Upto now, the Himalayas are still rising.
Ma Alin, Zhu Mu Lang, was written in the complete map of Huangyu (1717) inthe 56th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty. In 1855, under the leadershipof the British, the Bureau of survey of India named this peak after the surnameof S.G. erfield, the director of the Bureau. In 1952, the government of thepeople's Republic of China renamed the peak Qomolangma. Nepal is called SakyaMata. On May 25, 1960, the mountaineering team of the people's Republic of Chinaclimbed the peak from the north slope for the first time. The Academy ofSciences of the people's Republic of China has also organized many large-scalecomprehensive scientific expeditions and obtained a large number of importantscientific data.
In March 1989, Mount Everest National Nature Reserve was established. Thereserve covers an area of 33800 square kilometers. The area is rich in rare andendangered biological species, including 8 species of national first classprotected animals, such as langur, bear monkey, Himalayan tal sheep, leopard,etc. There are more than 600 glaciers at the top of the mountain, covering anarea of 1600 square kilometers. The longest glacier is 26 kilometers. When thesun rises to the East, the huge mountain peak is gorgeous under the red light.In addition, many peculiar natural landscapes often appear, attracting a largenumber of domestic and foreign tourists.
Mt. Qomolangma is a huge pyramid shaped mountain, majestic and majestic,with extremely steep terrain and extremely complex environment. The height ofsnow line is 5800-6200m on the north slope and 5500-6100m on the south slope.There are three steep cliffs (North, East and southwest) in the middle ofnortheast ridge, Southeast ridge and west ridge. There are 548 continentalglaciers between them, with a total area of 1457.07 square kilometers and anaverage thickness of 7260 meters. The glaciers are mainly supplied by themetamorphism of snow cover in the Indian Ocean monsoon belt. On the glacier,there are a variety of magnificent and rare ice pagoda forests, ice cliffs ashigh as tens of meters, light and dark ice fissures with step-by-step traps, anddangerous ice avalanche and avalanche areas.
Mount Everest is not only magnificent, but also magnificent. Within 20kilometers of it, there are many peaks and mountains. There are more than 40peaks with an altitude of more than 7000 meters. The most famous ones are "Luozipeak" (8463 meters above sea level, the fourth highest peak in the world) andZhuo Qiong peak (7589 meters above sea level), which are 3 kilometers south. Inthe southeast is Makalu peak (8463 meters above sea level, the fifth highestpeak in the world), in the north is Zhangzi peak (7543 meters above sea level),in the West are Nuzi peak (7855 meters) and pumoli peak (7145 meters). On theperiphery of these huge peaks, there are some world-class peaks facing eachother from afar: ganchengjia peak, the third highest peak in the world (8585meters above sea level, the boundary peak between Nepal and Sikkim), in thesoutheast; gechongkang peak, 7998 meters above sea level, zhuoyou peak, 8201meters above sea level, and Xisha Bama peak, 8012 meters above sea level, in theWest.
