Mount Everest is the Earths highest mountain, located in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas. Its peak is 8,848 metres above sea level and the 5th furthest point from the centre of the Earth. In 1802, the British began the Great Trigonometric Survey of India to determine the location and names of the worlds highest mountains. Starting in southern India, the survey teams moved northward using giant theodolites, each weighing 500 kg (1,100 lb) and requiring 12 men to carry, to measure heights as accurately as possible. They reached the Himalayan foothills by the 1830s, but Nepal was unwilling to allow the British to enter the country because of suspicions of political aggression and possible annexation. Several requests by the surveyors to enter Nepal were turned down. The British were forced to continue their observations from Terai, a region south of Nepal which is parallel to the Himalayas. Conditions in Terai were difficult because of torrential rains and malaria. Three survey officers died from malaria while two others had to retire due to failing health
