Melting Ice on Everest Reveals Bodies of Fallen Climbers

Climate change accelerates the exposure of deceased mountaineers, prompting dangerous recovery missions.

Five bodies were retrieved this season as part of Nepal's mountain clean-up campaign.
Over 300 climbers have died on Everest since the 1920s, with many bodies still hidden.
Rescue operations face extreme challenges, including high costs and physical dangers.
Recovered bodies are often found in nearly preserved conditions, still in their climbing gear.
The mission also removed 11 tonnes of trash, highlighting the environmental impact of expeditions.
