Qomolangma — the Most Dangerous Mountain in the World
One of the world’s most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas /h m 'le z/. ① The Himalayas run along the southwestern / sa θ'west (r)n/ part of China. Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous. It is 8,848.86 meters high and so is very dangerous to climb. Thick/θ k/ clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. ②
Even more serious difficulties include / n'klu d/ freezing/'fri z / weather conditions /k n'd nz/ and heavy storms. ③ It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top. ④
