The geodesic tripod in Everest

The Swiss company Leica has placed a 3-m geodesic tripod at the highest peak on Earth. At the end of last year, mountaineers Benoit Chamoux and Agostino Da Polenza managed to climb to the top of Everest and placed the tripod.

According to the data we know so far, the upper end of the tripod is at 8,851 m, since Everest measures 8,848 m.

However, the data that will be obtained through this tripod force to modify the height of Everest in the maps, since the Himalayas is known for its constant growth.
