The peak, known as Chomolangma was referred to as Peak XV by the survey group, but as the highest mountain known, it was named by the British, Mt Everest after the previous surveyor general George Everest. This was the beginning of the world s fascination with the highest peak but it was not until 1921 when Tibet opened that climbers began attempts to reach the summit.\n
