About
Sir Edmund Percival Hillary was a New Zealand mountaineer, explorer, and philanthropist, best known for being one of the first two individuals confirmed to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Born on July 20, 1919, in Auckland, New Zealand, Hillary developed an interest in climbing during a school trip to Mount Ruapehu. His passion for adventure and the outdoors led him to become a skilled mountaineer.

During World War II, Hillary served as a navigator in the Royal New Zealand Air Force. After the war, he resumed climbing and participated in several expeditions to the Himalayas. His climbing prowess and determination caught the attention of the British Everest Expedition team.
In 1953, Hillary joined the ninth British expedition to Everest, led by Colonel John Hunt. On May 29, 1953, at 11:30 a.m., Hillary and his climbing partner Tenzing Norgay became the first confirmed climbers to reach the 8,848-meter (29,029 ft) summit of Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth. Their successful ascent was a monumental achievement and brought them international fame.
Tenzing Norgay
Tenzing Norgay was a Nepalese-Indian Sherpa mountaineer born around May 1914 in the Khumbu region of northeastern Nepal. (His exact birth date is uncertain due to the lack of official records.) Growing up in the shadow of Everest, Tenzing developed exceptional climbing skills and endurance from an early age.
He participated in numerous Everest expeditions prior to 1953, including attempts by British and Swiss teams. His extensive experience and knowledge of the mountain made him an invaluable asset to climbing teams.

Expeditions to the Poles
Expeditions to the North and South Poles are among the most challenging due to several factors:
Extreme Weather Conditions:
- Temperatures: Can drop below -50°C (-58°F) with wind chills even lower.
- Winds: Strong katabatic winds can reach hurricane speeds, increasing the risk of frostbite and hypothermia.
Remote and Inhospitable Terrain:
- North Pole: Navigating over shifting sea ice, open leads (gaps in the ice), and pressure ridges.
- South Pole: Traversing vast ice sheets with crevasses and sastrugi (wind-formed snow ridges)
