Fascinating. Thanks for posting it. I wonder how many other unrecovered or even undiscovered bodies are up there on that lonely, cold graveyard of ice & snow known as Everest.

There is a number of videos on YouTube which show numerous bodies on Everest. Over 200 have died up there, many just going to sleep and never waking up.

Re: George Mallory Vanishes On Mt Everest In 1924 And Is Found 75 Years Later
Hard to say how many specifically are still there, but most estimates claim there's at least 200+ bodies there. Usually the conditions are just too harsh to make any attempt to recover them. The main factors are things like bad weather, where they were when they died, good weather - leading to competing hiking groups causing traffic jams, the obvious risk for the rescuers, and the monetary cost are the most typical reasons. Some of those bodies are commonly used as landmarks to track the group's progress as well. Which I'm sure fucks with a lot of people lol. |
