Facts About Mount Everest (Nepal/China) For Kids
Mount Everest got its English name in 1865 from Sir Andrew Waugh, who named it after Sir George Everest, but local people have their own special names for it — in Nepal, they call it “Sagarmatha” which means “Goddess of the Sky”!
Mount Everest is part of the famous Himalaya Mountains, which are like a giant wall of mountains stretching across Asia for 1,500 miles (2,414 km) — that’s as long as 26,400 football fields placed end to end!
