Mohan: If you have to cock you head higher and get a wry neck in the process, blame it on Everest.<G> EVEREST has grown 7 feet taller and moves in the Northeast direction at a rate of 2 1/2 inches per year. Do you think that India is also moving with Mount Everest? Mt Everest is 7 feet taller Mount Everest, the tallest peak in the world, is even taller than previously thought, according to the National Geographic Society. Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite equipment has enabled scientists to re-calculate the height of the peak to be 29,035 feet (8,850 meters), and not 29,028 feet as determined by the Survey of India in 1954. The new result was announced by the National Geographic Society last night, according to The Washington Post. The new determination of the height was made based on data collected on May 5 with the use of lightweight GPS equipment carried to the summit by two Sherpas working with mountaineers Pete Athans and Bill Crouse. It was also determined that the mountain is moving. It is creeping horizontally in a northeast direction at the rate of 6 cm a year.
