Among the more than 300 bodies, three are the most famous, namely "Green Boots", "Sleeping Beauty" and "Rest in Peace".

Mount Qomolangma, located in Dingri County, Tibet, China, is the highest mountain in the world. According to the latest data in 2020, its altitude is 8848.86 meters.

As we all know, the higher the altitude, the worse the environment. Mount Everest is very high above sea level, so the air pressure is relatively low, the air is less, and the natural oxygen is very thin.

Secondly, the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature will be. Every time the average altitude rises by 1000m, the temperature will drop by 0.6 degrees Celsius, so the temperature on Mount Everest will remain between MINUS 40 degrees Celsius and MINUS 20 degrees Celsius all the year round, and it will be lower in extreme weather.

This has led to the fact that Mount Everest has been covered by a large area of ice and snow, and there are various dangers. On Mount Everest, it is possible to experience severe weather such as snowstorms and avalanches in one day, and it is not easy to die if you are not careful. If the body is moved again, the difficulty coefficient will be higher. Obviously, this is a loss-making business, so almost no one brought the body back from Everest.

In fact, if you really want to bring the body back from Everest, it is not impossible, but the cost is very high. On one occasion, bringing back the bodies of three Indian climbers from Mount Everest cost a lot of 600,000 yuan, and the average family simply could not afford this high commission.

In short, if you want to bring the body back from Everest, you may pay the price of your life. Therefore, these dead climbers were buried on Mount Qomolangma and became signposts on Mount Qomolangma to guide later climbers.
