Beberapa Catatan Ketinggian Everest


Sebelum pengukuran pasukan Nepal dan China pada 2019 dan 2020 beberapa pasukan survey lain telah mengukur ketinggian Puncak Everest.

Previous measurements had come to different results. In 1975, Chinese experts had confirmed the altitude of 8,848 meters, which is also officially recognized in Nepal. In 2005, Chinese surveyors determined a height of 8844.43 meters – with the note that there were three and a half metres of snow on it, which again totalled 8,848 meters. 

In between, in 1999, there was a measurement by US scientists who determined an altitude of 8,850 metres by GPS evaluation. The result of a Nepalese survey in spring 2019 is still pending.

Everest’s height was first determined by a British team around 1856 as 29,002 feet. But the most accepted figure has been 29,028 feet, which was determined by the Survey of India in 1954.

In 1999, a National Geographic Society team using GPS technology came up with a height of 29,035 feet. A Chinese team in 2005 said it was 29,009 feet because it did not include the snow cap.
