Mount Everest (Nepali: Sagarmatha सगरमाथा; Tibetan: Chomolungma ཇོ་མོ་གླང་མ; Chinese: Zhumulangma 珠穆朗玛)
Located in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas, the China–Nepal border runs across its summit point.
The current official elevation of 8,848 m (29,029 ft), as recognized by China and Nepal, was established by a 1955 Indian survey and subsequently confirmed by a Chinese survey in 1975.
(Editorial comment: Two Everest elevations are often cited, 8,848 meters and 8,8850 meters. The 8,848 meter measurement is the height of the Everest rock and the 8,850 meters elevation adds the snow-ice above the rock and therefore measures the height if you were to be standing on the summit. Repeat: if you were to be standing on the summit of Everest... the summit of Planet Earth, standing on top of the world ;-)
