Nepal has announced it will survey Mount Everest to ascertain whether its height was changed in the earthquake two years ago. Everest’s “official” measured height has varied between 8,840 and 8,848 metres (29,029 feet) since 1856 and Nepal’s Department of Survey says the mountain may also have shifted its geographic position. The survey will take two years and will also show the impact of climate change on the mountain.
