The temperature of Mount Everest is very low, and people will not rot when they die. Can you see the ancients in China on it?

The northern part of Mount Everest is in Dingri County, Tibet, China, while the southern part extends to Nepal. However, the highest mountain on earth, which is also the closest to the sky, actually attracts mountaineering enthusiasts all over the world.

Up to now, the number of bodies on Mount Everest has exceeded 300, of which Sleeping Beauty, Rest in Peace and Green Boots are the most famous three, and no one has dedicated them to burial. Then, the temperature of Mount Everest is so low that it is difficult to decompose the body. Can you see the ancients after climbing up?

How low is the temperature on Mount Everest?

Mount Qomolangma is not an independent existence, it is equivalent to a part of the Himalayas, but the peak is the highest, even if the snow at the top is removed, it is 8844.43 meters high. In a day's time, the weather on Mount Everest may experience various kinds of weather, such as snow and ice, downpour or fog. It may be more appropriate to describe it as capricious and unpredictable.

The climatic conditions corresponding to high altitude are often low temperature and lack of oxygen, and Mount Everest is no exception. The snow that falls here will not melt all year round, and relatively rare landscapes such as ice towers, ice slopes and glaciers are also common in Mount Everest. And many times, there will be strong winds above seven or eight. When the strong winds blow up the snow, it will show the scene of flying snow all over the sky.

Why do climbers usually choose to climb Mount Everest in spring and autumn? On the one hand, it is because the overall weather of Mount Everest is good and the overall temperature is relatively high in these two seasons. It is precisely because Mount Qomolangma is not only high in altitude, but also extremely cold in its surrounding environment, so it has won the title of the roof of the world. From the perspective of the whole year, the highest temperature of Mount Everest should be in August in summer, when the average temperature can reach about-10.4℃, and the annual average temperature is close to 20 degrees Celsius.

Specifically, from the middle of 165438+/kloc-0 to February of the following year, Mount Everest will be greatly affected by the northwest cold current, and the maximum wind speed can reach 90 meters per second. Therefore, at the lowest temperature, Everest can even reach MINUS 50℃, even if the average temperature is around MINUS 30℃.

Will the body on Mount Everest rot?

The temperature on Mount Everest is really low, but that doesn't mean that the body itself is not rotting. It can only be said that the low temperature environment will slow down the decomposition rate of the corpse, but it is by no means constant. In fact, after a person's heart stops beating and his brain stops working, that is, after losing the traditional life characteristics, his body will begin to rot about 24 hours later, because the body will produce a series of corrupt reactions under the action of bacteria.

Usually, if the temperature of the environment where the corpse is located is between 25 and 35 degrees Celsius, the rate of decomposition of the corpse will be quite fast, while the temperature range of 0 to 1 degree Celsius or 45 to 55 degrees Celsius may slow down or even stop the rate of decomposition of the corpse. Although the temperature on Mount Everest is always below zero degrees Celsius, the weather there is changeable, and it is not an absolutely dry or humid environment. So the body will still rot, but it may not be as transparent as the natural environment looks, and the rate of corruption is very slow.

Generally, the bodies on Mount Qomolangma are not particularly buried, because the places where they died are often close to the summit of Mount Qomolangma, and it is difficult for passers-by to maintain their physical strength, and the frozen bodies will be heavier than the weight of the dead themselves, which is extremely adjusted for the people who carry the bodies, both in physical strength, perseverance and even life safety. So, although some bodies can be seen on Mount Everest, no one has buried them after so many years. It's not that everyone turns a blind eye, but the risk is really too great. These bodies gradually became road signs to warn more climbers.

Can you see the ancients when you climb Mount Everest?

According to the existing records, the world's highest peak, Mount Qomolangma, was discovered by Churchen Zangbo, Ramben Zhanba and Zhu Sheng, although in 192 1, 1922, 1924, 1933 and1933. Of course, in the following time, more countries climbed Mount Everest, but it was not until1May 29, 953 that Edmund? Hillary Clinton, a mountaineer from New Zealand, is the tour guide Tenzin? With the help of Norguet, he climbed Mount Qomolangma, which is also the first time that humans climbed Mount Qomolangma.

The time for China mountaineering team to climb Mount Everest can be traced back to 1960. After the efforts of three members, Wang Fuzhou, Kampot and Qu, at 4: 20 on May 25, the five-star red flag was finally planted on the summit of Mount Everest. Their climbing route was the north slope of Mount Everest with the worst environmental and climatic conditions. Although we were not the first people to climb Mount Everest, in 1975, the China mountaineering team set a world record for the largest number of men and women climbing Mount Everest collectively.

With the improvement of modern mountaineering equipment and the professional training of climbers themselves, more and more people climbed Mount Everest in the following time, although some people stayed on Mount Everest forever because of accidents. However, we can see from the time line of Everest climbing records that it was not far away from us in ancient times, and most of the climbers sleeping on Everest were from other countries in the world. Therefore, people who climb Mount Everest may see green boots and sleeping beauty, but they are unlikely to meet the ancients.
