Mount Everest Body Recovery
Recovering a body in the Death Zone—above approximately 8,200 meters—is one of the most dangerous and complex challenges on Mount Everest. At this extreme altitude, lack of oxygen, severe weather, and life-threatening terrain often make recovery operations impossible, placing rescuers’ lives at serious risk. Many climbers lost at these heights remain forever part of the mountain. Video credit: @dandu.sherpa #Everest #DeathZone #HighAltitude #Mountaineering #Climbing #Everest2025 #Himalayas #Pion
