Edmund Hillary died today
Explorer Edmund Percival Hillary, the guy who climbed some big, high mountain called Chomolungma (also named Qomolangma or Sagarmatha) (that's Mount Everest to us) on May 29, 1953, was born on July 20, 1919 in Tuakau, North Island, New Zealand. He said, "It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves." [So true.]... Mr. Hillary died in 2008 in Auckland, New Zealand.
