10 Well-Known Dead Bodies on Everest

All About Everest Podcast
About this episode

There are over 200 dead bodies left on Mt. Everest. Today's episode is about why the bodies are not retrieved and the 10 most "famous" dead bodies on Mt. Everest. The 10 most "famous" dead bodies on Mt. Everest include George Mallory, Marco Siffredi, Green Boots, and Sleeping Beauty. I also talked about how the documentary "Finding Michael" gives us a better idea of why it is so hard to find, identify, and retrieve bodies from Mt. Everest.
