Mount Everest attracts many experienced climbers. There are two main routes to the summit, one from Nepal and one from Tibet. The first recorded attempts to reach the summit were made in the 1920s by British mountaineers from the Tibetan side since Nepal did not allow foreign access. In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary from New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay from Nepal became the first documented climbers to reach the summit.Mount everest

Mount Everest is the highest point on Earth. Sherpas, a native Nepalese ethnic group known for their climbing abilities, often work as guides and partners for climbing expeditions on Mount Everest. Most expeditions begin in Kathmandu, Nepal and involve a journey through different elevation levels, or camps, on the mountain as climbers make their way to the summit. Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made history as the first climbers confirmed to have reached the summit of Mount Everest in 1953.Mount everest

Mount Everest was first summited in 1953 by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, though some believe George Mallory may have reached the top in 1924 before dying on the descent. People are drawn to climb Everest for personal satisfaction and prestige, though the prestige associated with climbing it may have diminished as commercial expeditions have increased accessibility. Reaching the summit still requires excellent physical fitness, technical skills, and risk management given dangers like weather, altitude sickness, falls, and avalanches. Some climbers now attempt unprecedented feats without oxygen or new routes to regain prestige. Environmental impacts have occurred as commercial tourism has grown, including waste accumulation and impacts on local communities.The highest range of mountain in the world123

The document discusses the world's most dangerous climbs according to AdventureLion.com. It lists Annapurna in Nepal as the most dangerous due to its low success ratio of 38% with many casualties. The Eiger in Switzerland is also very dangerous because of technical climbing and heavy rockfall. Baintha Brakk in Pakistan, also known as The Ogre, frequently tops the most dangerous lists due to its exceptional steepness, altitude, and complex geology. Fitz Roy in Argentina was also considered extremely dangerous for decades due to treacherous weather between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.Top Mountains to Climb | Adam Gant

This 9-day trek begins in Leh, Ladakh and involves hiking through beautiful mountain scenery with panoramic views. The trek passes through villages like Shang La and camps at Shang Phu before ascending to cross the Shang La pass at over 3,500 meters. Further hiking leads to the base of Matho La pass and meadows near Stok Kangri peak, which climbers summit on day 7 via a long and challenging route. The trek concludes by hiking along rivers back to Stok village and touring the historic palace there.Ron Virmani – Experiencing Majestic Mount Fuji

John Hume was born in Northern Ireland in 1937. From 1925 to 1965, laws discriminated against Catholics, making them poorer and living in worse conditions with no way to improve their lives. Inspired by Martin Luther King Jr., Hume led peaceful protests and sit-ins to highlight Catholic grievances. Though violence did occur during "The Troubles", Hume remained committed to non-violence and helped establish a party seeking a just, peaceful solution. Key to getting the IRA to call a ceasefire and the Good Friday Agreement, Hume worked for decades for peace in Northern Ireland.

Desertseamonncorry30
Ìý
Trade wind deserts are formed by the Hadley cell circulation pattern. Warm air rises at the equator, causing low pressure. As the air moves away and cools, it sinks over the tropics, creating high pressure that prevents rain formation. No rain leads to desert conditions in these areas. Rain shadow deserts occur when moist air is forced to rise over hills or mountains, condensing and raining on one side while dry air sinks on the lee side, creating a desert.Science- Density

Day 3 has students write up and draw the experiment from Day 2.The water cycle
The water cycleeamonncorry30
Ìý
The water cycle begins with evaporation, where the sun heats water in bodies of water causing it to evaporate into vapor and rise into clouds. Within clouds, condensation occurs as the vapor condenses into liquid water droplets due to cooler temperatures. The clouds then transport the condensed water through precipitation, which returns the water to bodies of water through rain or snow, completing the accumulation stage of the water cycle.Scott powerpoint history

The Japanese launched a surprise attack on the US Navy base at Pearl Harbour, Hawaii on December 7th, 1941. They destroyed many American battleships and planes, killing over 2,400 American soldiers. This attack drew the United States into World War II by provoking a declaration of war against Japan. Pearl Harbour was a major US naval base located in the Pacific Ocean between California and Japan. The Japanese had intended to weaken the US Pacific fleet stationed at Pearl Harbour to prevent America from interfering with their expansion in Asia.D day niamh (1)

D-Day occurred on June 6, 1944, when Allied forces launched major attacks on five beaches along the coast of Normandy, France. The attacks involved over 425,000 soldiers from countries like the U.S., Britain, and Canada who stormed the beaches and engaged in intense fighting with German forces. It was one of the largest amphibious military assaults in history and marked a turning point in World War 2 by undermining Germany's control of Western Europe. While the invasion was a military success that contributed to Germany's defeat within a year, it came at a massive human cost with over 425,000 casualties during the Normandy campaign.Italy katie
