How many kilometers above sea level is Mount Everest?

Mount Qomolangma is the main peak of the Himalayas, with an altitude of 8848 meters and the highest peak on the earth, located at 86.9 east longitude and 27.9 north latitude. Located in the eastern section of the China-Nepal border, the north slope is in Ding Yue County, Xizang Autonomous Region, People's Republic of China (PRC), and the south slope is in the Kingdom of Nepal. In Tibetan, it is called "Mount Qomolangma" [it is called "Mount Qomolangma Alin" in the Imperial Map compiled in the fifty-sixth year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (A.D. 17 17)], which means "Goddess".

Mount Everest is in the shape of a huge pyramid. It is magnificent, with extremely steep terrain and extremely complicated environment. Snow line height: 5800-6200m on the north slope and 5500-6 100m on the south slope. There are three steep walls (north wall, east wall and southwest wall) between the northeast ridge, southeast ridge and Xishan ridge, and 548 continental glaciers are distributed between these ridges and cliffs, with a total area of 1 457.07 square kilometers and an average thickness of 7260 meters. The replenishment of glaciers is mainly formed by the snow metamorphism in the two major precipitation zones of the Indian Ocean monsoon belt. There are various, magnificent and rare ice towers on the glacier, ice cliffs as high as tens of meters, light and dark ice cracks that sink step by step, and dangerous ice collapses and avalanches.

Mount Everest is not only magnificent, but also magnificent. There are many peaks and mountains within 20 kilometers around it. There are more than 40 peaks above 7000 meters above sea level. The famous ones are Luozi Peak (8463 meters above sea level, the fourth highest peak in the world) and Zhuoqiong Peak (7589 meters above sea level), Makaru Peak in the southeast (8463 meters above sea level, the fifth highest peak in the world), Zhang Zifeng in the north (7543 meters above sea level) and Nuzi Peak in the west (7855 meters above sea level). On the periphery of these giant peaks, there are some world-class peaks: in the southeast, there is Jiafeng, the third highest peak in the world (8585 meters above sea level, the boundary peak between Nepal and Sikkim); In the west, there are Feng Kang at an altitude of 7998m, Zhuooyou Peak at an altitude of 820 1 m and Xixiabangma Peak at an altitude of 8012m. It has formed a magnificent scene of peaks reaching the DPRK and peaks surging.
