The Mountains of the World (and beyond)
By Jonathan
Mount Everest is 8,850m (29,035ft), and is a mountain in the Himalayas, Nepal. Everest is the highest moutain peak in the world.
Sherpa Tenzing Norgay (Nepal) and Sir Edmund Hillary (New Zealand) first conquered Everest in 1953. Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was Sir Edmund Hillary’s guide.
Whilst Everest is the highest point in the world, Mauna Kea (White Mountain) on the Island of Hawaii is the world’s tallest mountain, with over half of its height under the sea. Its total height is 10,205 m (33,480 ft).
Mauna Kea is not the tallest known mountain in the universe. There is a mountain on Mars, which is called Olympus Mons. It is 26 km high and 600km in diameter.
(to be put on my Edujam)
I love the idea of comparing your school with another using a blog. I work at Mayfield Primary in West London and I’m sure our school is very different to both Clunbury and Bilston.
