More corpses are appearing on Mt. Everest, due to global warming.
There are many corpses on Mount Everest, especially in the Rainbow Valley, which is named Rainbow Valley since it has a lot of colorful gear, which belongs to the climbers that died there, against the hard white snow. It’s extremely hard to remove the corpses of fallen climbers, not only is it dangerous (people have died trying to recover a body) but also very expensive. It’s also important to remember that a frozen body weighs much more than a regular one and isn’t easily removed. Around 300 people have died on Mt. Everest, from which two-third have never been found. Most likely, most of them are buried beneath the snow and ice. Most of them wanted to be left on Mt. Everest if they died and some bodies are used a landmarks.
Due to global warming, the snow started to melt. More bodies have started to appear. It wasn’t unusual to find a hand or foot sticking out of the snow, since the ice sheets from Mt. Everest has been melting for many years now, around a metre or a half a year.
A couple that disappeared 75 years ago was found in 2017. A climber found a foot sticking out of the snow. When he got closer he saw two other shoes, a hat and two corpses that were blackened and frozen in time. It’s estimated they died from a fall. The couple, Marcelin and Francine Dumoulin disappeared on August 15, 1942. They had said to come back in the evening, to their seven children. But they never returned. Their oldest child, Monique Gautschy-Dumoulin and her siblings never stopped searching for her parents, she finally has peace now. She gave a short interview: [x]
Three brothers and their guide, who disappeared in 1926, were found in 2012. A climber found the skulls, bones and some of the gear that was left of the Ebener brothers, Johann, Cletus and Fidelis, they were aged between 23 and 31 years old. They most likely became lost and froze to death. Their guide, Max Rieder, is still missing, since there was no DNA of him found with the brothers.
