The Olympic flame has reached the peak of Mount Everest.

Live television footage showed a Chinese mountaineering team holding up a specially designed torch, along with Chinese and Olympic flags, on the top of the world's tallest mountain.

The 19-member team broke camp at 27,390 feet about four hours before dawn in the hope of reaching the 29,035-foot peak at about mid-morning.
