                    [Summary] => A Filipino expeditionary team has conquered Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world.


This is a moment of national pride. For those involved in this effort, there is an overwhelming sense of achievement – although all the group hugs and tears of joy among members of the Filipino Everest team we saw on television might not be completely comprehensible for most people.

After all, for those who have to scrounge for a living each day, the point of scaling a tall and dangerous peak might not be immediately clear.

At 8,844 meters (29,000 feet), Mt. Everest towers over other mountain peaks, presenting the ultimate challenge to mountaineers and adventurers from all over.

Since its discovery in 1852, more than 800 people have conquered the Himalayan giant’s snow-capped summit. But unfortunately, out of this total figure, more than 100 have met their deaths on its massive, freezing slopes.
