The world's highest mountain Mount Everest is 0.86m higher than had been previously officially calculated, Nepal and China have jointly announced.
Until now the countries differed over whether to add the snow cap on top. The new height is 8,848.86m.
China's previous official measurement of 8,844.43m had put the mountain nearly four metres lower than Nepal's.
