I wonder why so many people have chosen to answer this question with completely the wrong answer (ie that water boils at 100C everywhere). Anyone with even a few years of physics at school should know that boiling point depends on pressure. Since the pressure at the top of Everest is significantly lower than at ground level, it stands to reason that the boiling point will be lower.
So sorry, I don't know the answer, but I do know that it is less than 100 degrees C.

At normal atmospheric pressure 100 degree centigrade. At mount Everest, atmospheric pressure is less than the normal. So water should boil at less than 100 degree centigrade.

the temprature can befound if youu know the exact pressure on Mt. Everest
every thing on earth follows the boyle's law which is
PV=nRT
where P is pressure V is volume n is no. of atoms ........R is some no. of Atom which i think is around 2.89 and T is temprature

Mt. Everest's altitude: 29,035 feet (8850 m). At that altitude, water boils at 156° F (69° C).

Somewhat lower than at zero feet above sea level, around 69 °C or 156 °F.
Ah, the stupid **** is downvoting again...

water boils at different temp. under diff. pressures
y don't u climb mount everest n check it urself

On the top of Everest , water does not boil at all. Because the pressure is low.

It depends on what the pressure is at that moment.

everywhere and anytime water boils at 100 degree c
