Mount Everest

You might not have realized it, but Mount Everest is not called Mount Everest anymore! The Mountain was named Everest by the British in 1865 to honor Sir George Everest who was the Surveyor-General in the Survey of India. Everest had mapped and measured the peak in 1852.

However, China claims that the peak was first mapped by Tibetan officials in 1717. The mountain was called Qomolangma (pron. Chomolungma), its Tibetan name.

I wonder, does anyone offer travel insurance if you want to climb Mount Everest, I mean Mount Qomolangma?
