The Quiz: Which landmark is called “Chomolungma” in Tibetan?
Mount Everest
Gobi Desert
Great Wall of China
Indian Ocean
Located on the border between Nepal and the autonomous Chinese region of Tibet, Mount Everest has been known to natives for thousands of years. Before the peak got its current name from the former surveyor general of India, the Nepali language referred to it as “Sagarmatha,” a term with various meanings, and Tibetans called it “Chomolungma,” which means “mother goddess of the world.”
The correct answer to this quiz is Mount Everest.
