As the recent deaths of sixteen Sherpas underscore, climbing Mount Everest remains a daunting challenge.
Located in the Himalayas, Everest is the highest mountain in the world at a whopping 29, 029 feet.
In this compelling narrative, Nico Medina guides readers through the mountain's ancient beginnings, first human settlers, historic climbs, and the modern commercialization of mountain-climbing.
With stories of expeditions gone wrong and miraculously successful summit climbs, this is a thrilling addition to the Where Is .
? series.
