Sir Edmund Hillary Dies At 88
Saturday, January 12, 2008
When it comes to mountains and Himalayas, Nepal comes to the mind of all as it has the prestige of having the world's highest summit, Mount Everest. Then comes the people who have achieved the goal of reaching to the summit. The first is Nepal's own Tenzing Norgay Sherpa then the second person is New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary. I just read a sad news about Mr. Edmund Hillary's demise. Hillary died at Auckland City Hospital at 9 a.m. local time on Friday, January 11, New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark's office said. I have found the detail review of his story and some of his pasts remembrance and some photos at NationalGeographic.com on the following links:Sir Edmund Hillary, a Life in Pictures and Sir Edmund Hillary, Everest Pioneer, Dies at 88
