Straddling the border between Nepal and Tibet, Mount
Everest (named in 1856 in honor of Sir George Everest responsible for
triangulation of British Indies) is the highest mountain peak in the
world that the Sherpas climb proudly at the head tourist expeditions as
final prayers in honor of the "Sea Goddess of the Earth" (Chomolungma)
providing food to the people from his high astral top.
