Good morning Monday, time for some facts about Earth for this week, and this week we are looking at mountains.
There are 1,187,049 mountains on Earth
Mount Everest is the tallest mountain on Earth above sea level, however, if measured from the centre of the Earth it wouldn’t even be in the top 20. Why? Well the Earth isn’t a perfect sphere it is slightly squashed and bulges out in the middle
The oldest person to climb Everest was Yuichiro Miura from Japan who was 80 years old at the time.
The highest unclimbed mountain is Gaqngkhar Puensum in Bhutan which is the 40th highest mountain in the world.
Chimborazo which is in Ecuador is actually the highest mountain in the world and the closest to space, when measured from the centre of the Earth because of the shape of the planet.

Dearest Jo-Anne,
Never considered climbing mountains—not literally!
Hugs,

Same here, we climb enough figuratively for my liking
Yep, those valleys of life are not for sissies!
