Talk about the facts about Qomolangma.
It is the highest mountain in the world.
It is the most famous mountain of Himalayas.
It is one of the most popular places of Himalayas.
It is the most dangerous mountain in the world.
Of all the mountains in the Himalayas, Qomolangma is the highest. It looks like a Pyramid（金字塔）.
在喜马拉雅山脉之中，海拔在7000米以上的高峰有50多座，8000米以上的有16座，著名的有南峰、希夏邦马峰、干城章嘉峰。“喜马拉雅”在藏语中就是“冰雪之乡”的意思。这里终年冰雪覆盖，一座座冰峰如倚天的宝剑，一条条冰川像蜿蜒的银蛇。其中最为高耸的则是位于中国和尼泊尔边界上的珠穆朗玛峰。
珠穆朗玛峰(Qomolangma)，简称珠峰，又译作圣母峰，尼泊尔称为萨加马塔峰，也叫“埃非勒斯峰”（Everest），位于中华人民共和国和尼泊尔交界的喜马拉雅山脉之上，终年积雪。高度8848.86米，为世界第一高峰，中国最美的、令人震撼的十大名山之一。
珠峰所在的喜马拉雅山地区原是一片海洋，在漫长的地质年代，从陆地上冲刷来大量的碎石和泥沙，堆积在喜马拉雅山地区，形成了这里厚达3万米以上的海相沉积岩层。以后，由于强烈的造山运动，使喜马拉雅山地区受挤压而猛烈抬升，据测算，平均每一万年大约升高20～30米，直至如今，喜马拉雅山区仍处在不断上升之中。
珠穆朗玛峰，峰高势伟，地理环境独特，峰顶的最低气温常年在零下34℃。山上一些地方常年积雪不化，冰川、冰坡、冰塔林到处可见。峰顶空气稀薄，空气的含氧量只有东部平原地区的四分之一，经常刮七八级大风。十二级大风也不少见。风吹积雪，四溅飞舞，弥漫天际。
