Famous Himalayan record keeper Elizabeth Hawley died in late January 2018. In 2018, Nepal may re-measure the height of Mount Everest, which is typically recognized as being 29,029, although re-measurement by teams have come up with somewhat varying figures including 29,022 and 29,035. One of the issues is if the height is from the rock summit or includes the ice and snow, which can add a significant amount of height. It is known the height of Everest may be changing due to its position on tectonic plates, which can alternately raise or lower it depending on the type of tectonic event. Another goal in 2018 that many organizations have, is to remove trash from the mountain and nature areas. Nepal honoured several mountain climbers, including those that and summited Everest in the 1970s and went on to conduct humanitarian projects in the impoverished land-locked country. Climbers honoured by Nepal included Wolfgang Nairz, Oswald Ölz, Peter Habeler, Raimund Magreiter, Robert Schauer, Hanns Schell and Helmuth Hagner. Nepal also honored Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler in April 2018, for their 1978 climb of Mount Everest. As of April 2018, about 350 climbing permits for tourists had been issued so far on the Nepal side.
