Sir Edmund Hillary died earlier today at the old age of 88 of heart failure in New Zealand. You might recognize his name - he was the first person to the peak of Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world in 1953. He was a particularly well known explorer after that, climbing numerous other peaks in the Himalayas and participated in another expedition to the South Pole.
