Currently, There are at least 108 mountains on Earth with elevations
of 7,200 metres (23,622 ft) or greater above sea level. The vast
majority of these mountains are located on the edge of the Indian and
Eurasian plates in China, India, Nepal and Pakistan. Mount Everest is
Earth's highest mountain above sea level, located in the Mahalangur
Himal sub-range of the Himalayas. The China Nepal border runs across
its summit point. Its elevation (snow height) of 8,848.86 m was most
recently established in 2020 by the Chinese and Nepali authorities.
Mount Everest attracts many climbers, including highly experienced
mountaineers. There are two main climbing routes, one approaching the
summit from the southeast in Nepal (known as the "standard route") and
the other from the north in Tibet. While not posing substantial
technical climbing challenges on the standard route, Everest presents
dangers such as altitude sickness, weather, and wind, as well as
hazards from avalanches and the Khumbu Icefall.
