Mount Everest

Official Travel Stamp Vinyl Sticker

Rising a staggering 29,031.7 feet in the Himalayas, this summit is Earth’s highest point. Carrying sacred names, Sagarmatha in Nepal and Chomolungma in Tibet, its marine limestone peak records a vanished seafloor lifted by the continuing collision of India and Asia. Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary first stood above the “death zone” in 1953, making it mountaineering’s defining prize.
