2. What does the author mean by quoting George Mallory’s words “because it’s there”
Because human curiosity and ambition cannot be stopped. As George Mallory famously said, it is simply “because it’s there.”
The quote suggests that people are driven to climb Qomolangma not for practical reasons, but out of a deep human desire to explore, challenge themselves, and achieve the extraordinary simply because the mountain exists.
