Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth, rising to an elevation of 29,032 feet above sea level. It sits on the border between Nepal and Tibet, a region of China, in the great HIMALAYAN mountain range of Asia. The mountain was named after Sir George Everest, a British surveyor who helped map the Indian subcontinent in the 19th century. In the local Nepali language, the peak is called SAGARMATHA, meaning 'goddess of the sky,' and in Tibetan it is known as CHOMOLUNGMA, meaning 'holy mother.'
