It is the tallest mountain in the world, standing roughly 29,029 feet above sea level. Every year, Mount Everest gets taller by about half an inch. This is due to movements in the Earth’s crust and two tectonic plates, deep beneath the Earth’s surface, pushing together. The name “Himalaya” means “home of snow”, but snow is only one of the many challenges faced by a climber of Mount Everest. The danger with snow is that there is always the risk of an avalanche. Snow, ice and rocks can slide down the mountain at speeds of up to 120 miles per hour. Temperature is also a concern. The temperature at the top of Mount Everest has been known to drop below -94 degrees Fahrenheit. This can lead to extreme cases of frostbite. And altitude is another major problem for climbers of Mount Everest. At such a great height there is less oxygen, due to the air being thinner. Perfect to listen to while commuting, exercising, shopping or cleaning the house.. #ad Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
