Mountaineer whose Everest dream was not achieved
- 6 years ago
Mountaineer lost his life on Mount Everest. The body's skin has turned to leather under the harsh sun and dry dessicated conditions. This clip is shown with due respects to the unidentified mountaineer. On a personal level, we want something done about this terrible personal and ongoing human tragedy where the body mountaineers are not able to be brought down from the peak, due to the many limitations. However, we recognize the same and so submit to the situation with due humility. A body is so heavy that a single porter cannot possibly lift and bring it down, people who lost their lives are consigned to a deep crevasse and given what is called a 'glacial burial'.
As many viewers also rightly point out, the people who undertake such climbs are aware of the risks involved...
Since a human body is too heavy to carry back to Base Camp, bodies are either abandoned in the open or given a glacial burial by being released into a crevasse, in a sleeping bag or sack.
Located in the Himalaya, Mount Everest is the world's highest mountain above sea level at 8,848 metres (29,028 ft). At the higher regions of Mount Everest, climbers seeking the summit typically spend substantial time within the zone" (altitudes higher than 8,000 m/26,246 ft), and face significant challenges to survival. Temperatures can dip to very low levels, resulting in frostbite of any body part exposed to the air.
