Britain's Highest Mountain Is Bigger Now

Due to a change in technology it has been found that Ben Nevis is one metre (one yard) bigger than first thought.

So we got the original measurements wrong or did the mountain grow

Its just that they got it wrong the first time.

It might have really because the earth breathes and mountains can get higher.
Although in the short space of time it took since last measurement it might not have gained a metre.
More likely is the original explanation that their instruments got it wrong first time round.

Two people have just been found dead on Ben Nevis.
They have been lost a few weeks.

I wonder if Mount Everest and the other mountains will be reassessed.

I wonder if Mount Everest and the other mountains will be reassessed.

If they have this new technology then be prepared for further adjustments in the height calculations of all the mountains around the world
