It grew

[jimmyjazz 46252]

Scientists reassessed the height of Mount Everest and have concluded that it is more than 2 feet taller than previously thought (29,029 ft ---> 29,031.69 ft).

Measure twice, brag once

[phdhorn 6224]

Just the tip?

in a million years it's going to be 35,000 ft high. Hope I'm around to see it!

The entire Himalayas grow ~1cm/year.  Indian plate just keeps pounding away into the underside of the Eurasia plate at a neverending pace.

They actually grow and recede, as the underside of the tectonic collision melts away as it's shoved into the mantle. At least that's what I was told in Mountain Geoecology at UT 15 years ago.
