Mount Everest s height has increased by almost a meter Andrea Smith Mount Everest has grown by almost a meter © Bartosz Hadyniak/Getty Images Climbing the world s tallest peak is a life ambition for many people - and it has just become an even bigger challenge. Nepal and China have announced a change to the height of Mount Everest after surveyors from both countries came together to agree on a new height of 8848.86m, an increase of 0.86m. Up to now, China s previous official measurement stood at 8,844.43m, almost four meters lower than Nepal s. The latter argued that the snow on top of the summit should be included, while China believed that it should be measured to its rock height. The joint announcement of the new height settles the dispute over the height of Everest, which stands on the border between both countries.
