The New Zealander Edmund Hillary and the Nepalese Sherpa Norgay, were the first people to reach the top of Mount
Everest on the Nepal-Tibet border in 1953. They only stayed on the summit for 15 minutes because they didn’t have
much oxygen. Mr Hillary took several photographs of the scenery and of Sherpa Norgay with flags representing Britain,
Nepal, the United Nations and India. They put some sweets and biscuits under the snow as a Buddhist offering to the
gods. They looked for signs of George Mallory and Andrew "Sandy" Irvine who had disappeared in 1924 when they
tried to conquer Mt. Everest, but found nothing. Then they began to go down to meet their team leader Colonel John
Hunt further down the mountain at Camp VI. When he saw the two men looking so exhausted Col Hunt thought they
could not reach the top. But then the two climbers pointed to the mountain and signaled they had reached the top, and
there were a lot of celebrations. Mount Everest was named after Sir George Everest, the surveyor-general of India who
was the first to produce detailed maps of the Indian subcontinent including the Himalayas.
