Abstract
THE opportunity which mountaineers and geographers have long looked for of approaching Mount Everest from the north has at last arrived. The Tibetan Government has given its consent for the dispatch of an expedition to explore the mountain. The expedition is now being organised by a combined committee of the Royal Geographical Society and the Alpine Club, and an attempt will be made to ascend this the highest mountain in the world.
