Question for:
What was the ironic last name of the explorer who, in 1929, miscalculated the height of Minya Konka (Mt. Gonga) in China at 30,250ft. and reported it to the National Geographic Society as the highest mountain in the world? This claim was met with skepticism and corrected a year later to 24,900ft. by geographer Eduard Imhof.
