Did you know that there are more than 200 bodies of #climbers on Mount Everest? Standard protocol on Mount #Everest is just to leave the dead right where they died, and so these Mount Everest bodies remain there to spend eternity on its slopes, serving as both a warning to other climbers as well as being a guide to where the climbers are on the mountain. One of the most famous Mount Everest bodies, known as “Green Boots” was passed by almost every climber to reach the death zone. The identity of Green Boots is highly contested, but it is most widely believed to be Tsewang Paljor, an Indian climber who died in 1996. George Mallory’s body was found 75 years after his death on 1924. Mallory had attempted to be the first person to climb Everest, though he had disappeared before anyone found out if he had achieved his goal.
