Nepal measuring world's tallest peak

KATHMANDU - A team from Nepal has restarted its first measurement of Mount Qomolangma, also known is the West as Mount Everest, the Nepali Department of Survey said.

The department, which began its mission in February, said it is measuring the world's tallest mountain to see if it was effected by a massive earthquake that hit Nepal in 2015.

Geologists say the quake may have shrunk the mountain by about 3 centimeters. They also want to investigate whether climate change has altered the mountain's height.
