Another brief change of scenery,as I'm interested in the people that make the attempt to climb the world's tallest mountain above sea level:Mount Everest.
I've been watching a couple of documentaries on it,and there's one in particular that held my attention and fascination.In 1996,there was an expedition to climb the summit from two different groups,which suffered catastrophic consequences.
The 1996 expedition suffered 8 deaths four of whom are highlighted here,after they were caught in the most deadly storm at Mount Everest to date.Even though there were tragic deaths,it's still a remarkable tale of survival.Yet,some of those that did. survive,suffered the loss of hands,arms and toes.Sometimes,I think the people who attempt to climb Everest,as well as any other dangerous mountain,are just pure idiots for putting themselves in harms way.
Anyway,rest in peace to all those who've perished on Mount Everest,and everywhere else..It's never nice to see the bodies of the people,that are still on the mountain to this day.
