Along with a team of climbers, John Kazanas, a Greek Australian mountain climber from Melbourne, set off on Sunday on a quest to conquer the highest summit of the world, the legendary Mount Everest in the Himalaya.
The 38- year- old Greek from Melbourne, in communication with ANA–MPA, just before commencing his mission, stated that:
“We went through exquisite plains of Mongolia and we are now camping at the base of the mountain. After two or three days of becoming acclimatized, we commence climbing, our first goal being 5700 metres. From a distance of 20km, Everest looks wonderful.”
The summit of the Himalayas is the highest in the world (8848 metres). This journey will cost John around 40.000 dollars but he said that “it is worth the effort and the money”.
