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.
- Introduction
There have been many expeditions throughout the 20th (1900s) and 21st (2000s) centuries, and the amount increased in the late 20th century.[1] The first expedition was a reconnaissance expedition in 1921, and after a few decades an expedition in 1953 reached the top of Everest.[2][3]Everest expeditions, especially in the late 1900s had a certain grandiose reputation, because they were often such large undertakings.[4] The 1953 expedition had 320 porters that carried supplies across a remote wilderness.[5] The 1963 American expedition had over 900 porters that carried over 25 tons of supplies, supporting a climbing crew of dozens.[6]
