Now that we have learned a little about climbing Mount Everest, we are going to plot our trek to base camp and then to the top of the world. In the first video clip it talks about the 10-day trip to reach the base camp to make the assent of Mount Everest. We are going to create a folder in the **Places** section of Google Earth called **Mount Everest**.This is where you will store your place markers for the trip. For each of the place markers you will need to name it, find information about the place and include four or five sentences about the place and include two pictures. The places you will mark are in the list below. You must keep a complete bibliography of all of your sources, including pictures, that you use for your project. You are to use EasyBib to create your bibliography. Remember that your bibliography must be in alphabetical order.
