The 16 Most Dangerous and Beautiful Places on Earth
| June 2, 2015
Mount Everest, Nepal
The tallest peak on earth has been attracting mountaineers ever since Sir Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa Tenzing Norgay first climbed it in 1953. But since that first expedition, almost 250 people have died trying to do the same and more are likely to follow; between 100-200 brave souls attempt the climb each year. If joining the ranks of the top adventurers in the world isn’t reward enough, successful climbers also get to take in the spectacular view from the top.
