What is the highest mountain in the world?

Mount Qomolangma is located in the middle of the Himalayas, on the border between China and Nepal, with an altitude of 8848.13m, which is the highest peak in the world, and its height is about twice that of Mont Blanc (48 10/0m), the highest peak in Europe.

Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world.

Mount Qomolangma stands in the snow-capped Himalayas. The mountains are majestic and covered in silver. On sunny days, there are often milky clouds around the mountainside. On snowy days, all the peaks are shrouded in clouds. Throughout the year, even within one day, the scenery of Mount Everest is ever-changing and magnificent.

The alpine glaciers on Mount Everest are very famous. When people climbed to an altitude of 5700 kilometers, all kinds of grotesque ice towers appeared in front of them. Some are like rockets, some are like tall buildings, and there are ice curtains, icicles, ice walls, ice caves, ice mounds, ice mushrooms, ice lakes and so on. They are dazzling in the sun, like countless art treasures.

Mount Qomolangma, which means "Mount of the Virgin", was named by the local people in Tibet. This mountain peak was discovered as early as 17 17 (56th year of Kangxi) by surveyors sent by the Qing emperor. But I don't know much about mountain peaks, which has long been a mystery.

The northern slope of Mount Everest is sunny and the terrain is very steep. Brave China climbers overcame many difficulties, such as severe cold, strong wind, snow and ice, steep slope and severe lack of oxygen, and set a record for 1960 to climb Mount Everest for the first time from the north slope, and planted the bright five-star red flag on the summit. This is a victory to conquer nature and win glory for the socialist motherland. 1975 in may, the China mountaineering team once again climbed the highest point on the earth from the northern slope. Before that, no foreigner had climbed the summit of Mount Everest from the northern slope.
