The Full Story
Mount Everest on the border of Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China is the highest point on Earth measured from sea level. A 2020 survey agreed on an official height of 8,848.86 meters, or about 29,031.7 feet. The mountain continues to rise very slowly because of tectonic uplift, although erosion also shapes it. Its extreme altitude means climbers face very low oxygen levels in the so-called death zone above about 8,000 meters.
