This page will answer the question…How did climbing Mount Everest affect Sir Edmund Hillary’s home country, New Zealand?
When Edmund Hillary climbed Mount Everest, it put New Zealand on the National Map. This is because, Edmund Hillary recieved word that Queen Elizabeth planned to make Edmund Hillary a SIR. For this, he is still recognised as a national hero for New Zealand today, even though he looked and acted just like a true Kiwi.
