Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world and the first eight-thousandth peak. It is located in the Himalayas, in the Mahalangur-Himal range (in the part called Khumbu-Himal). The southern peak (8760 m) lies on the border of Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region (China), the Northern (main) peak (8848 m) is located on the territory of China. Everest has the shape of a triangular pyramid, the southern slope is steeper. On the southern slope and edges, snow and firn are not retained, so they are exposed. The height of the North-eastern shoulder is 8393 m. The height from the foot to the top is about 3550 m. The summit consists mainly of sedimentary deposits.
From the south, Mount Everest is connected by the Southern Saddle Pass (7906 m) with Lhotse (8516 m), sometimes called the Southern Peak. From the north, the steeply sloping sharply sharpened Northern Saddle (7020 m) connects Everest with the Northern peak — Changze (7543 m). To the east, the impassable eastern wall of Kangshung (3350 m) abruptly ends. Glaciers flow down from the massif in all directions, ending at an altitude of about 5 km. Jomolungma is partly part of the Sagarmatha National Park (Nepal).
