Mount Everest
A view from Darjeeling of the Himalayan mountain range including, to the right, Deodhunga. Following observations by James Nicolson, and subsequent calculations by Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India, it was decided that this was probably the highest mountain in the world. In 1856 Waugh proposed that it be called Mount Everest, after his chief and predecessor in office, Colonel Geroge Everest. Although the naming was opposed in some quarters, including by George Everest himself, in 1865 it was adopted by the Royal Geographical Society. Date: 1857

EDITORS COMMENTS
Breathtaking View of Mount Everest from Darjeeling, India: A Historical Perspective This photograph showcases the majestic Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, as viewed from the picturesque hill station of Darjeeling, India. Mount Everest, also revered as Chomolungma in Tibetan culture and Sagarmatha in Nepal, has held the title of the world's tallest peak since 1857. The mountain's identification as the highest was the result of meticulous observations by James Nicolson, a British army officer, and subsequent calculations by Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India. In 1856, Waugh proposed that the mountain be named Mount Everest, in honor of his esteemed predecessor, Colonel Sir George Everest. Despite opposition from some quarters, including George Everest himself, the Royal Geographical Society adopted the name in 1865. The mountain's identification and naming marked a significant milestone in the exploration and understanding of the Himalayan mountain range. To the right of Mount Everest in this photograph, the peak of Deodhunga can also be seen. The awe-inspiring beauty of these mountains continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world, making this photograph a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world.
