Mount Qomolangma is the highest mountain in the world. It is in the Himalayan (喜玛拉雅) Mountains between Nepal(尼泊尔) and China, and it is 8900 meters high. Sir Edmund Hillary from New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay from Nepal were the first people ever to climb Mount Everest in 1953. Men from several different countries climbed it after that.
Junko Tabei, a Japanese was the first woman to make this difficult climb. A Japanese newspaper-television company chose the fifteen women from mountaineering clubs to climb Mount Qomolangma in 1975. The group climbed for several days. Then there was an accident. The heavy ice and snow hurt ten of the women. They had to stop climbing. The other five went on climbing.
Only Ms Tabei was able to climb the last 70 meters. She was standing on the top of the world. She was the first woman there. Ms Tabei was 35 years old at the time.
