Dead bodies abound on Mount Everest
It
is estimated that over 200 people have died in their attempt to reach
the summit of Mount Everest. The causes of their death vary as widely as
the weather at Mount Everest’s peak. Climbers face the dangers of
falling off the mountain, tripping into huge crevices, asphyxiation
from low oxygen levels, avalanches and falling rocks, and weather that
can unexpectedly change drastically in mere minutes. At the summit,
winds can reach hurricane strength literally blowing the climber off the
mountain. Oxygen levels leave the climbers gasping for breath and their
oxygen deprived brains leave them unable to make rational decisions.
Some climbers stop for a brief rest only to slowly drift into a deep
sleep, never to wake up. All dangers aside, ask any climber who has
beaten the mountain and reached the 29,000 foot summit and they will
tell you the most memorable, and disturbing, part of their climb were
the many perfectly preserved bodies that they passed on their way to the
top.
