Yup
Mt. Everest stands 8.85 kilometers (29,000ft) above sea level, roughly the maximum height reached by international airplane flights. Hundreds of people have tried and failed to climb the behemoth by foot, a feat first accomplished successfully in 1953. About 1000 people have now made it to the summit. Mt. Everest lies in the Himalayan mountains in the countries of Nepal and Tibet. In the native language of Nepal, the mountain's name is "Sagarmatha" which means "forehead of the sky."
And it should have posted much bigger... Any ideas why not?
