Melting glaciers on Everest expose the bodies of climbers
#2
Reading about this and imagining what it would be like to see the bodies on the mountain really is so crazy to think about. I had the same questioning about why the bodies would simply be left up there, but personally if I trained and worked hard to do something like that and ended up there that probably where I would want to be left. I've read that apparently some frozen bodies are used as  markers for other climbers so they know how high they've reached. Even just climbing Mount Everest would be a challenge, but it would be even more difficult to have to see others who were in the same position as you are, and be reminded of the danger that comes with the climb.
