Mount Everest, located in the Himalayas, has always fascinated mountaineers and researchers from all over the world. The height of this mountain, over 8848 m above sea level, is not only a challenge for climbers, but also a place of many mysteries, tragedies and inexplicable phenomena. In this article, we will look at the most frightening and puzzling discoveries that shaped the history of this iconic mountain.
The Mystery of Mallory and Irvine
One of the greatest mysteries of Everest is the vision of George Mallory and Sanda Irvine, two British mountaineers who went missing in 1924 while trying to reach the summit. They were last seen just 30 metres from the summit and never seen again. Mallory’s body was found in 1999, but there was no camera at the time that could prove whether they had achieved their goal. Mallory promised his wife that he would leave her picture above, but he was never found next to it. The mystery remains: were they the first to win Everest?
