Mount Everest Is Getting An Altitude Adjustment
Nepal and China, which straddle peak, will give it a new, unified height measure
BY ERIC BELLMAN AND KRISHNA POKHAREL
KATHMANDU, Nepal—How tall is Mount Everest? Until now, it depended on whom you asked. China said it was 29,017 feet. Nepal said it was a little taller, at 29,028 feet.
The countries have closed that 11-foot gap and reached an agreement. The world’s tallest peak this week will get a new, unified official height from the two nations it straddles. After years long surveys, China and Nepal will announce the peak’ s stature Tuesday, Su-sheel Dangol, the man in charge of Nepal’s Everest-measurement project, said Sunday. “The challenge for us was to prove we could do it,” he said.
