List of Mount Everest expeditions
List of Mount Everest expeditions is a list of expeditions to Mount Everest. Many of these are mountaineering expeditions for exploration, sport, science or fundraising.
There have been 39 expeditions. The first expedition was a reconnaissance expedition in 1921, and after a few decades an expedition in 1953 reached the top of Everest, which was a big deal because Everest was determined to be the highest point on Earth and it had remained unclimbed.[1] An Everest expeditions, especially in the 1900s have a certain grandiose reputation because they were large undertakings then.[2] The 1953 expedition had 320 porters that carried supplies across a remote wilderness.[3] The 1963 American expedition had over 900 porters that carried over 25 tons of supplies, supporting a climbing crew of dozens.[4]
