Amazing Himalaya mountain



Geography: The Himalayas stretch across the northeastern portion of India. They cover approximately 1,500 mi (2,400 km) and pass through the nations of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Bhutan and Nepal.

The Himalayas are a range of mountains in Asia. The Himalaya proper stretches from the Indus river in Pakistan, through India, Nepal, and Bhutan, and ends at the Bramaputra River in eastern India.

Fold mountains are the most common type of mountain in the world. The rugged, soaring heights of the Himalayas, Andes, and Alps are all active fold mountains. The Himalayas stretch through the borders of China, Bhutan, Nepal, India, and Pakistan.

 The Himalayas are a prime example of how tectonic plate motion can manipulate the earth in extraordinary ways. These colliding plates resulted in the formation of the highest mountain range on the planet. Our continents are carried by a series of tectonic plates located in the earth's lithosphere.

 “The best time for foothills of the Himalayas is March to November. Every season is different. June and September is my favourite time for the Himalayas, because it is hot, has clear sky and beautifully green.

 The mountains are known as the Himalaya or Himal in Nepali, the Himalaya or 'The Land of Snow' in Tibetan and Hindi, the Hamaleh Mountain Range in Urdu, and the Ximalaya Mountain Range ( Ximalāya Shanmai) in Chinese.

The Himalayas consist of three parallel ranges, the Greater Himalayas known as the Himadri, the Lesser Himalayas called the Himachal, and the Shivalik hills, which comprise the foothills. Mount Everest at a height of 8848m is the highest peak followed by the Kanchanjunga at 8598 m.

Amazing Greenland



Greenland is the world's largest island, located between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. It is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.

Of the roughly fifty-six thousand people who live in Greenland, the world's largest island, the vast majority are Inuit, and almost a quarter live in the capital city, Nuuk. ... Mejlvang documented life further south along the coast, in Sisimiut, a fast-growing town of around six thousand, the second-largest in Greenland.
 
 Greenland is the world's largest island and an autonomous Danish dependent territory with limited self-government and its own parliament. Denmark contributes two thirds of Greenland's budget revenue, the rest coming mainly from fishing.
 
 Greenland can hardly be thought of as a developing nation." Charles Tudor is right. According to the World Bank, Greenland is definitively high-income and has been since 1989. The average income per resident is about $33,000.
 
The Greenlandic language is roughly divided into four dialects: South Greenlandic, West Greenlandic, East Greenlandic and the Thule dialect. West Greenlandic is the official language which all children learn in addition to Danish and English.
 
 There are tarmac roads in all towns in Greenland. That is why cars are popular and well used as transportation means, especially in the larger towns such as Nuuk, Sisimiut, Ilulissat and Qaqortoq. ... Obviously, the number of cars per inhabitant is much lower in Greenland than in other countries in the world.
 
 Both natural and legal persons can buy real estate in Greenland. However, you should be aware that co-owners in co-operative housing have a residence obligation.
 
 Greenland, the world's largest island, lying in the North Atlantic Ocean. Greenland is noted for its vast tundra and immense glaciers. Map of Greenland highlighting the major geographic regions and the locations of human settlement.
 
 Greenland's strategic value is linked tightly to new North Atlantic shipping lanes opening up due to melting polar ice caps. ... Greenland's largest economic drivers are fishing and tourism, but the island has drawn rising interest due to its vast natural resources, including coal, zinc, copper, iron ore and rare minerals.

Amazing Everest Mountain



Mount Everest is Earth's highest mountain above sea level, located in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas. The China–Nepal border runs across its summit point. Its elevation of 8,848.86 m was most recently established in 2020 by the Nepalese and Chinese authorities.
 
 “The typical cost when climbing the Everest with a Western agency is $45,000 and above. With a local Nepali operator it can be between $25,000 and $40,000.” The cost includes the royalty fee of $11,000 for the peak. Most agencies conduct sherpa-supported climbs.
 
 The new height is 8,848.86m (29,032 ft). China's previous official measurement of 8,844.43m had put the mountain nearly four metres lower than Nepal's. Everest stands on the border between China and Nepal and mountaineers climb it from both sides.
 
Nearly 300 mountaineers have died on the peak since the first ascent attempt and two-thirds of bodies are thought still to be buried in the snow and ice. Bodies are being removed on the Chinese side of the mountain, to the north, as the spring climbing season starts.
 
 You poop into a bag, just like you do on Mount Rainier, and then you put the sealed bag into a “poop tube,” or PVC pipe with caps on both ends, which you haul up the climb with you. ... Never pee into a crack in the rock, where it will fester and gross out future parties who might need to use the crack to climb the route.
 
 According Debapriyo, most commercial airlines avoid flying directly over the Himalayas. This is because "the Himalayas have mountains higher than 20,000 feet, including Mt Everest standing at 29,035 feet. However, most commercial airplanes can fly at 30,000 feet." ... The Himalayan region has almost no flat surfaces.
 
 Can smokers do the Mt Everest base camp trek? Yes, you can still smoke and do the Mt Everest base camp trek. It would be better if you were a nonsmoker but you can still do it. In fact, many people smoke and still complete the Mt Everest base camp trek.
 
 As previously addressed, it is almost impossible to climb Everest completely alone on the standard route. However, you can climb independent with no oxygen, Sherpa or cook support but using ladders and ropes on the south side. For one person this would cost at least $25,000 from Nepal or China.
