Happy Anniversary Sir Edmund
54 years ago today, Sir Edmund Percival Hillary, KG, ONZ, KBE and Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay were the first people to climb to the summit of Mount Everest and return safely — a feat they achieved on 29 May 1953.
Wikipedia has a nice article about him:
Sir Edmund Hillary.
