    		Reinhold Messner

    In 1980, Messner was the first person to ascend Mount Everest alone without supplementary oxygen. (Messner had done this earlier as part of a two-man team with Peter Habeler in 1978).

    Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world, but there is a trench that is much deeper than Mount Everest is high. So if you could turn this trench upside down it would be much higher than Everest. Where is this trench and how deep is it?

    Who has made the fastest descent of Mount Everest and how long did it take?
