the goal of every mountaineer to climb each over their lifetime.
Bass was the first to climb all of the peaks and once held the record for being the oldest person to climb Everest.
Seven Summits DuniaAdapun seven peaks, no doubt, you may have heard of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and Mount Everest in Nepal. Read about how high their end, which is the most challenging and why to make the climb to the highest peak in the world.

1. Mount Everest (8,850 m) (Asia)
Mount Everest (English: Mount Everest) is the highest mountain in the world (when measured from sea paras). Peak ridge marks the border between Nepal and Tibet; peak in Tibet. In Nepal, the mountain is called Sagarmatha (???????, Sanskrit for "Forehead Sky") and in Tibetan Chomolangma or Qomolangma ("Mother of the Universe"), pronounced in Chinese?????

Everest summit is one of the Seven Summits Home in dunia.Radhanath Sikdar, surveyors and mathematician from Bengal, was the first to declare Mount Everest as the highest peak in 1852 through trigonometric calculations. This calculation is performed using the theodolite from a distance of 150 miles away in India. Most people in India believe that the peak should be named according to Sikdar, not Everest.Gunung has a height of about 8,850 m, although there are variations in terms of size (both Nepal and the Chinese government has not officially endorsed this measure, the height of Mount Everest at 8,848 m is still considered by them). Mount Everest was first measured in 1856 has a height of 8839 m, but is stated as 8,840 m (29,002 feet). Additional 0.6 m (2 ft) shows that at that time the exact height of 29,000 feet will be considered as estimates are rounded. Commonly used estimate at this point is 8,850 m were obtained by reading the Global Positioning System (GPS). Mount Everest is still rising high due to the movement of tectonic plates tersebut.Gunung Everest region is the mountain peak reaches the farthest distance from the sea face. Two other mountains are sometimes also referred to as "the highest mountain in the world" is Mauna Loa in Hawaii, which is the highest when measured from its base on the bottom middle of the ocean, but only reaches a height of 4,170 m above sea face and Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador, a 2,150 m peak higher than the Earth's center than Mount Everest, because the Earth is inflated in the equatorial region. However, Chimborazo only reaches a height of 6,272 m above sea face, so it is not even the highest peak in Andes.Dasar deepest oceans deeper than the height of Everest: Challenger Deep, located in the Mariana Trench, so in the case of the Himalayas to put in it , there are nearly 1.6 km of water covering it.
