The Story Of George Mallory And How There Bodies where discover on everest.
The discovery of George Mallory’s body on Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain raised more questions than answers about the legendary pioneering alpinist.
George Mallory, a legendary mountaineer, and explorer from Great Britain, participated in a daring expedition to Mount Everest long before Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made their historical ascent to the summit.
Mallory was 37 years old at the time, and he eagerly seized the opportunity to take part in such an exhilarating adventure, realizing that his age might render him incapable of doing so in the future. The 1924 expedition was one of three expeditions that took place in the early 1920s, beginning in 1922. The team encountered no significant issues in reaching the campsites above 20,000 feet by the end of May.
On June 1924 Mallory and his climbing partner Andrew Irvine, departed from advanced based camp and embark on their own journey. According to the porters who remains behind at the camp, Mallory was confident that they will summit the mountain and return to the camp, before night fall
Sadly, Mallory was mistaken. The mountaineers vanished that day. and their remains where not discovered for more than 70 year.
In 1999, a team of climbers, working on BBC's, "Mallory and Irvine research expedition" arrived at mountain everest with the sole purpose of locating Mallory and Irvine.
despite the 75year that had passed Since the pair disappear, the chances of finding them were relatively high. the freezing temperature and permanent, layer of permafrost on everest preserve the bodies of climbers who perish on its slopes almost perfectly.
