About the book
Fifty years ago - on 29 May 1953 - Mount Everest itself was finally scaled.
When Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa of Nepal
stood on the summit, this marked the culmination of decades of reconnaissance
and climbing attempts. The world of mountaineering would never be the same
again.
With climbing expeditions and trekkers flowing into the Everest region,
changes were inevitable - both positive and negative. It is largely thanks
to the vision and devotion of one man, Sir Edmund Hillary, that so many
positive transformations have been possible - in health and education, environment
and conservation. |
