Everest Heroes

Always in our heart....
Two of the greatest persons on earth are definitely Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. They are the first climbers to climb up the Everest Mountain. The reason why I post about this is because today is the anniversary of their ascent to Mount Everest. Sir Edmund Hillary passed away on the 11th January of 2008 at the age of 88 while Tenzing Norgay on 9th May of 1986. Although they had died, no doubt many had not forgotten them. Google have done this great logo specially as a tribute for them. Both the climbers have even inspired us to take risks and do things that are thought impossible to accomplish. So, think the impossible!
One of the quote by Sir Edmund Hillary:
