(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 rock and the 8,850 meters elevation adds the snow-ice above the rock and therefore measures the height if you to be standing on the summit. Repeat: if you were to be standing on the summit... the summit of Planet Earth, standing on top of the world ;-) | (Editorial comment: Two Everest elevations are often cited, 8,848 meters and 8,8850 meters.
