How many bodies are there on Mount Everest?

Mount Qomolangma is the highest point on the earth. Because of its uniqueness, people from 65438 to 0953 Edmund? 6? Sir Edmund Hillary has been trying to climb the summit since he successfully reached it. The peak of Mount Everest is located in Nepal, with an altitude of 8850 meters. The whole mountain peak spans the border between China, Nepal and Tibet. The climate on the top of the mountain is so bad that it is difficult for climbers to reach it successfully except in May and June. Even in May and June when the rapids flow northward, the climate in mountainous areas is still very bad. During May 2008, the average daily maximum temperature was minus 27 degrees Celsius, and the wind force was 8 1 km per hour. At other times of the year, especially when the jet air passes directly from the peak, the wind can reach the intensity of hurricane-189 km/h and the temperature can reach MINUS 73 degrees Celsius. In addition, the oxygen content in the air here is two-thirds of the sea level. In this way, we can easily understand why so many explorers have failed to return. But even so, the spirit of exploration continues, but the bad thing about this spirit is that people may die at any time. Everest News estimates that since 2004, 2,000 people have successfully reached the summit, and 189 people have died on the way. If you are lucky enough to be one of about 150 people who successfully climb the summit every year, then you can definitely see something on this road-dead bodies. The body on Mount Everest was killed. Of the 189 people who tried to reach the summit, about 120 people's bodies were left there. This is a terrible warning to the latecomers. The reason why we can't move these scattered bodies is actually very simple, because it is really too dangerous and difficult. Climbing to the top of Mount Everest is a physical challenge, which is unmatched by anything else in the world. So it takes a long time to carry the dead or lost people down the mountain, and even the whole team has to spend the night on the mountain. In fact, this rescue effort is almost suicide. Most of the bodies are scattered in the "dead zone", which is located above the last base camp at an altitude of about 8000 meters. No one has studied the specific cause of death, but fatigue and weather conditions must be an important factor. Most of the bodies were frozen immediately, and the climbing rope was still wrapped around the waist. There are also some bodies that have different degrees of decay. Because of this, in recent years, some experienced climbers will try their best to bury the dead on the roadside. China mountaineering team travels long distances to clean up garbage every year, about 120 tons. During the cleaning process, the mountaineering team is ready to carry any body that can be safely touched down the mountain. Climber George? 6? 1 profit? 6? George Leigh Mallory's cold and stiff body is still lying on the hillside of Mount Everest. 1924 him and teammate Andrew? 6? 1 Andrew Irvine disappeared on the way to Mount Everest. 75 years later, the body of the missing climber was found.

In 2007, British climber Ian? 6? 1 Ian Woodall returns to Mount Qomolangma and buries three dead people he met while climbing the mountain. One of them is Francis? 6? 1 year Francys Arsentiev's woman was still alive when she climbed the mountain for the first time in Wuduo. The first thing she said to Wu Duo was "Don't leave me". But the cruel reality is that Wu Duo can't do anything for her without endangering herself and her teammates, so she can only be left to fend for herself. In the past ten years, due to the development of science and technology, it has been much safer to climb Mount Everest. Satellite phones can help climbers keep in touch with the base camp at any time and get timely weather information. People can make better use of the types and quantities of climbing tools, which also greatly reduces the number of deaths. 1996, * * * 15 people died on the way, and 98 people successfully climbed to the top. Ten years later, in 2006, 1 1 people died on the way, and 400 people successfully reached the summit. In the past 56 years, the total mortality rate was 9%, but in 2004 it dropped to 4.4%. & lt/FONT & gt;
