    THE BODIES OF MOUNT EVEREST

    The tallest mountain on Earth, Mount Everest stands as the ultimate monolith to be conquered by climbers willing to pay up to $25,000 for a chance to make it to the top. However, Everest is a dangerous and inhospitable place; At 26,000 feet climbers enter "The Death Zone" where the air is so thin that climbers literally start to slowly die. Instantaneous frostbite is possible and the lack of oxygen makes climbers bewildered and weak.

    Over 200 climbers who ascended Mount Everest never came down and some of their bodies have been lying on the mountain for over fifty years, but due to the temperature and low oxygen, they have been preserved as grisly markers for other more fortunate climbers.

    Due to the environment, it is next to impossible to recover these bodies.

    This body has been on the mountain since 1996 and has been named "Green Boots." It is used as a landmark for climbers.

    This woman was found barely alive by a couple. "Please don't leave me," she cried to them, but the couple knew there was nothing they could do to help her and were forced to leave her behind. Eight years later and racked with guilt, they returned to give her a proper "burial."

    This is George Mallory who fell to his death in 1924.

    Bodies of those who died at Advanced Base Camp are also left lying where they succumbed to the cold.

    Bodies lie on the mountain frozen in the position they were in when the person died. Here a man had fallen off the trail and too tired to rise, died where he fell.

    It is assumed that this person died while resting against a snow bank which has since evaporated leaving the body in this odd raised position.

    Francys Arseniev, an American women who fell while descending with a group (that included her husband), pleaded with passerby’s to save her. While climbing down the side of a steep section of the mountain, her husband noticed she was missing. Knowing that he did not have enough oxygen to reach her and return to base camp, he chose to turn back to find his wife anyway. He fell to his death in the attempt to climb down and reach his dying wife. Two other climbers did successfully reach her but knew carrying her off of Mount Everest was not an option. They comforted her for a while before leaving her to die. Feeling great remorse, they returned eight years later vowing to find the body and enshrine it in an American flag (they succeeded). After details of the disastrous climb became known, it was realized that Francys Arseniev had become the first woman from the United States to reach the summit of Mount Everest without the aid of bottled oxygen.
