Everest by Graeme Lothian. With Tibet in the North and Nepal on her southern flanks, what was first called peak b, then peak XY, finally became Mount Everest in 1865 after the surveyor general of India, Sir George Everest. To the Tibetans who live in its shadow it is called Chomolongma, Mother Goddess of the Earth. First successfully climbed by the 1953 British expedition, enabling Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay to reach the summit n 29th May. The height first calculated in 1856 at 29,002 ft is now accurately made as 29,035 ft, rising a few centimetres each year due to the Tectonic plates of India and the Asian land-mass.
