This photo shows Mt. Everest ( 8.848 m) and was taken at Rongbuk in Tibet. If there is one mountain that has captivated people it must be Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world. Legends as George Mallory, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay inspired many mountaineers. There are several trails leading to the roof of the world. In the early 1900s Nepal was closed to people from the West. When George Mallory tried to reach the top of Everest in 1924, he had to do it from the Tibetan side. The photo shows the North Face. It was from this side he attempted to reach the top.
