Aotearoa New Zealand is a country of mountains and valleys, dense forests, and sparkling oceans. At the center of the South Island sits the tallest mountain in the country, Aoraki Mt Cook. It is the place where Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to reach the top (summit) of Mt Everest, learned how to climb mountains. It was pretty difficult for him, at first, but Sir Edmund Hillary did not give up and, in 1953, he achieved this dream of climbing Mt Everest. His face can now be found on the New Zealand $5 note!
Let’s imagine that you met Sir Edmund Hillary in real life and were able to interview him.
On your blog, post five questions that you would like to ask Sir Edmund Hillary about his life.
1. How did you feel when you reached the top of Mt Everest?
2. What made you want to climb Mt Everest?
3. Were you scared to fall?
4. Are you afraid of heights?
5. Are you proud of yourself?
