Mount Everest is located in the Himalayan mountain range of the Indian Subcontinent, which is home to some of the biggest mountain peaks in the world. According to the coordinates, it is located at 27° 59' N latitude and 86° 55' E longitude. Mount Everest lies on the border of Nepal (Solukhumbu district) and Tibet (the Tingri County). Sir George Everest, the then Surveyor General of India, recorded the location of Mount Everest in 1841, and subsequently it was named Peak XV by Michael Hennessy. Eventually, the Royal Geographical Society changed its name from Peak XV to Mount Everest, as recommended by Andrew Waugh, in honor of Sir George Everest
