Mount Everest, Nepal - China
From series “The Most Inaccessible Spots of the Planet”Height: 8 848 meters.
Many hold the summit of Mount Everests for the most difficult to reach place on earth, which is also a landmark of the world. The highest mountain of the planet, which is located on the border of Nepal and China, has the height of 8 848 meters. Only the few experienced and courageous mountaineers can conquer the mountain. The first successful ascent to Everest summit took place in 1953. To date, less than 4,000 people have managed to conquer the high summit.
The enormous height and the incredibly rough climate have made Everest one of the most hard-to-reach places on earth. At night the air temperature on the top of the mountain often falls below - 60 degrees Celsius, and the wind speed in the mountain range can reach 55 m / s. According to the statistical data, every tenth person who tries to conquer Everest comes around. In the mountain districts of Everest the bodies of about 300 dead were found.
