Answer
Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, was conquered by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953, during the British Mount Everest Expedition. The two mountaineers reached the summit at 11:30 am local time, making them the first humans to successfully ascend to the top of the Earth. The expedition, led by John Hunt, was a major milestone in mountaineering and marked a significant achievement in human exploration.
