18+ Do Bodies Decompose On Mount Everest
Background. Since it's nearly impossible to recover a dead body on mount everest, several of them have been left there, named. While usually it's freezing, the strong sunlight at such high altitudes can actually radiantly heat the surface of the mountain, and any bodies there as well.
As a mount everest cleaning crew collected food wrappers, oxygen tanks and other garbage discarded by this year's record horde of mountaineers, they hundreds of people have died on everest since the 1920s and many of the bodies remain frozen on the mountain, unreachable without extraordinary.
Can these climbers' dead bodies be removed from the. The nepalese government seeks help in identifying four climbers whose bodies were brought down from mount everest during a particularly deadly climbing season atop the world's tallest peak. They'd take much longer to decompose a corpse there due to the low temperatures and dry conditions, but give them time. Oxygen levels here are low and the terrain tough to tread.
