The Norgay Montes (;〔 or 〕 less officially, Norgay Mountains) are icy mountains, near the Hillary Montes, that reach above the surface of the dwarf planet Pluto, bordering the southwest region of Sputnik Planum in the south of Tombaugh Regio (or the part of Tombaugh Regio south of the equator). The mountains, first viewed by the ''New Horizons'' spacecraft on 14 July 2015, and announced by NASA on 15 July 2015, are named after the Nepalese mountaineer Tenzing Norgay, who, along with Sir Edmund Hillary, were the first climbers to reach the summit of the highest peak on Earth, Mount Everest (29 May 1953). ==Understanding size==
The Norgay Montes rise to high, about twice as high as the Hillary Montes. In comparison, Mount Everest rises base-to-peak (though to an altitude of above sea level).〔''Mount Everest'' (1:50,000 scale map), prepared under the direction of Bradford Washburn for the Boston Museum of Science, the Swiss Foundation for Alpine Research, and the National Geographic Society, 1991, ISBN 3-85515-105-9〕 Japan's Mount Fuji is closer, at about in altitude.
