In this episode of Check This Out!, Cece and Amy take young listeners on an exciting journey to explore Mount Everest, one of the world's seven natural wonders. They discuss Everest’s location in the Himalayas, its incredible height of over 29,000 feet, and the dangers climbers face, including the "death zone" where oxygen is scarce and temperatures plunge to extreme lows. The episode shares fascinating stories about early expeditions, including the mysterious 1924 climb by George Mallory and Sandy Irvine, and celebrates the historic 1953 ascent by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. It highlights the vital role of Sherpas in mountaineering, explores alternative routes, and notable climbers like the youngest to summit and the first woman. The conversation also covers environmental issues on Everest, such as debris and human waste, and reveals surprising facts like Everest not being the tallest mountain from base to peak. With engaging facts, historical tales, and a poetic closing, this episode inspires curiosity about Earth's majestic natural wonders.
