珠穆朗瑪峰英文介紹Everest
Everest（珠穆朗瑪峰）is the highest mountain on Earth （as measured from sea level）。 Snow-capped mountains， azure sky， golden rays of sunshine， the pure and mysterious aura of Tibet has excited the imagination of so many people of the world.
The summit ridge of the mountain marks the border between Nepal and Tibet. In Nepali the mountain is called Sagarmatha （Sanskrit for "forehead of the" sky） and in Tibetan Chomolangma or Qomolangma （"mother of the universe"）。 Although it was named Everest by Sir Andrew Waugh， the British surveyor-general of India， in honour of his predecessor Sir George Everest， the popular pronunciation of Everest （Ev-er-est） is different from how Sir George pronounced his own last name （Eve-rest）。
They all battled freezing temperatures. Winds up to one-hundred-sixty-kilometers per hour. Dangerous mountain paths. And they all risked developing a serious illness caused by lack of oxygen. All for the chance to reach the top of the world.
The first and most famous of the climbers to disappear on Mount Everest was George Mallory. The British schoolteacher was a member of the first three trips by foreigners to the mountain. In nineteen-twenty-one， Mallory was part of the team sent by the British Royal Geographical Society and the British Alpine Club. The team was to create the first map of the area and find a possible path to the top of the great mountain.
At the time， scientists believed that a person at the top of the mountain would only have enough oxygen to sleep. Scientists believed that Messner and Habeler would die without oxygen. Scientists now know that two conditions make climbing at heights over eight-thousand meters extremely difficult. The first is the lack of oxygen in the extremely thin air. The second is the low barometric air pressure.
Today， scientists say a person lowered onto the top of the mountain would live no more than ten minutes. Climbers can survive above eight-thousand meters because they spend months climbing on the mountain to get used to the conditions. Climbing to the top of Mount Everest is a major victory for any person， but imagine if the climber could not see. Two years ago， the first blind man successfully reached the top of Everest. Erik Weihenmayer （WINE-may-er） was a thirty-two-year-old American. He climbed to the summit with the help of his team.
珠穆朗瑪峰，藏語意為“圣母”，海拔8844.43米，為世界第一高峰，位于喜馬拉雅山中段之中尼邊界上、西藏日喀則地區(qū)定日縣正南方。峰頂終年積雪，一派圣潔景象。珠峰地區(qū)擁有4座8000米以上、38座7000米以上的山峰，被譽為地球第三級。 珠峰山腳下建有一座世界海拔的寺廟——絨布寺，同時，絨布寺也是觀看珠穆朗瑪峰的位置，兩者直線距離25公里。 珠穆朗瑪峰是典型的斷塊上升山峰。 在其前寒武紀變質(zhì)巖系基底和上覆沉積巖系間為沖掩斷 層帶，早古生代地層即順此帶自北往南推覆于元古代地 層上。峰體上部為奧陶紀早期或寒武一奧陶紀的鈣質(zhì)巖 系（峰頂為灰色結(jié)晶石灰?guī)r），下部為寒武紀的泥質(zhì)巖 系（如千枚巖、夾片巖等），并有花崗巖體、混合巖脈 的侵入。巖層傾向北北東，傾角平緩。始新世中期結(jié)束 海侵以來，珠穆朗瑪峰不斷急劇上升，上新世晚期至今 約上升了3000米。由于印度板塊和亞洲板塊以每年5.08 厘米的速度互相擠壓，致使整個喜馬拉雅山脈仍在不斷 上升中，珠穆朗瑪峰每年也增高約1.27厘米。 珠穆朗瑪峰山谷冰川發(fā)育，山峰周圍輻射狀展布有許多條規(guī)模巨大的山谷冰川，長度在10公里以上的有18條，末端海拔 3600～5400米。其中以北坡的中絨布、西絨布和東絨布3大冰川與它們的30多條中小型支冰川組成的冰川群為 著。珠穆朗瑪峰周圍5000平方公里范圍內(nèi)冰川覆蓋面積 約1600平方公里。在許多大冰川的冰舌區(qū)還普遍出現(xiàn)冰 塔林。古冰斗、冰川槽形谷地、冰川或冰水侵蝕堆積平 臺、側(cè)磧和終磧壟等古冰川活動遺跡也屢見不鮮。寒凍 風化強烈，峰頂巖石嶙峋，角峰與刃脊高聳危立，遍布 巖屑坡或石海。土壤表層反復融凍形成石環(huán)、石欄等特 殊的冰緣地貌現(xiàn)象。 位置：位于喜馬拉雅山中段之中尼邊界上、西藏日喀則地區(qū)定日縣正南方。 氣候：珠穆朗瑪峰氣候具明顯季風特征。冬半年干燥而風大。為干季和風季。夏半年為雨季。珠穆朗瑪峰南北坡氣候差異很大，南坡降水豐沛，具有海洋性季風氣候特征；北坡降水少，呈大陸性高原氣候特征。 旅游時間：4～5月和10月是兩個過渡季節(jié)，天氣晴朗溫和，為攀登珠穆朗瑪峰的黃金季節(jié)。
