520    As the recent deaths of sixteen Sherpas underscore, 
       climbing Mount Everest remains a daunting challenge. 
       Located in the Himalayas, Everest is the highest mountain 
       in the world at a whopping 29,029 feet. In this compelling
       narrative, Nico Medina guides readers through the 
       mountain's ancient beginnings, first human settlers, 
       historic climbs, and the modern commercialization of 
       mountain-climbing. With stories of expeditions gone wrong 
       and miraculously successful summit climbs, this is a 
       thrilling addition to the Where Is . . . ? series!
