Hi Andrew!
ReplyDeleteThese are some great questions to ask Sir Edmund Hilary, I really like questions 3, 4 and 5!
Great job with attributing your image too :)
...I am also curious about the story behind question 2.... Sir Edmund wanted to drive a tractor to the South Pole?
I wonder what kind of training you would have to do in order to climb with no oxygen - sounds really dangerous!
I did have a little read about him on this short bigraphy page:
https://www.notablebiographies.com/He-Ho/Hillary-Edmund.html
It tells you a little bit about how he first became interested in mountains which I thought was pretty cool... incase you want to check it out :)
Do you think that you would like to climb a mountain like this one day?
Keep up the awesome work Andrew!
Ellee :)
Hi Ellee
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling me about this site.
I would not like to climb Mount Everest one day, its a bit like going to space - it sounds cool but I think it would be really dangerous and hard and might make you feel a bit sick.
