8848? Everest Suspense

A debate over the height of the right to speak of Everest has continued for nearly 30 years without the knowledge of the Chinese. In 1975, the Chinese government announced to the world that Mount Everest was 8,848 meters above sea level and proud of the country. As everyone knows, this value has been accepted as an "official height" by the Western world in the 1950s. In the meantime, there is a lot of haze. Now it is time to lift it.

■ Mr. Xu Jinzhi used the value of “8848” in official publications as early as 1960. Didn't anyone at least have reached the height of Mount Everest “8848” 15 years ago when the Chinese mass measured Everest? Although we have reason to be confident, Western countries have almost completely ignored the Chinese scientific and rigorous measurement in 1975.

According to time projections, the Chinese people's direct actions related to the Mount Everest before 1960 were only the first ever Mount Everest expeditions after the founding of the country from 1958 to 1960, leaving the only data published in the 1962 “Everest Region Region Scientific Investigation Report”. ” and “The Red Flag Plugged into the World” published in 1960. However, these two books all speak about the altitude of Mount Everest is 8882 meters, as to the source of this data did not explain.

"In 1958, China did have an altitude measurement of the Mount Everest. If it wasn't a very random chance, I wouldn't even know it." Once in 1966 to 1968, he took part in measuring Everest altitude and mapping the Rongbuk Glacier to the north of Everest. Mr. Meadson, who worked on the topographic map, told me. Just before he rushed to Everest in 1966, an old gentleman from the Chengdu Mountain Institute gave him a piece of information, which he said was given by an old lama of the Rongbuksa Temple. Meadsen studied the data carefully and found that it was originally a work log left by two unknown Chinese surveying and mapping workers during the measurement of Everest's elevation during 1959, and recorded how two people were involved in snowstorms and extreme cold. Lieutenant with a meter-high mercury barometer trekking in the velvet valley, he lost his way at an altitude of 5300 meters and eventually lost his strength. In spite of this, the two still left an Everest elevation of 8882 meters.

In the ensuing investigation, it was suddenly learned that in the English media of the Western countries, a surveyor named Gulatee in India measured the value of 8847.6 in 1954 and was rounded off to “8848”.

"This is purely coincidental, and the two '8848's have fundamentally different origins!" Zhang Jiangqi, senior engineer at the National Basic Geographic Information Center, said unequivocally. He told me that first Gulati himself did not, nor asked the mountaineer to climb the summit of Mount Everest, nor did he erect a landmark there. The inherent limitation of traditional triangulation was undoubtedly exposed—there was no way to find the summit meeting point. Its error is several meters. Secondly, Gulati gives the "snow height", which includes the thickness of the snow and ice layers on the summit. The height of the snow surface we measured was 8849.05, which subtracted the measured snow depth to 8847.13 meters. "" Everest is the highest peak in the world and China. The Chinese must measure their own elevation instead of citing the results of foreigners' determination, even if the result is 8,848 meters. To give an example that is not necessarily appropriate: The name of one's son is not a parent or a relative. It is not appropriate to ask for an irrelevant foreigner. "The former Chief Engineer of the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, Mr. Chen Junyong, member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said.
