Everest: a towering theatre of geology, myth, risk, and human ambition at the roof of the world.
Mount Everest grows about 4 millimeters every year due to tectonic plate collision, while erosion trims it slightly each year.
The summit is often higher in winter because temperature inversions push air upward, effectively raising the perceived height.
If Everest were hollowed to the depth of its peak, its volume could contain the entire Statue of Liberty five times over.
Surveys show that the true height varies by season and weather, making the mountain taller on some days than others.
