The Body Count of Mount Everest

Today, Brittany takes us through a deep dive of the world’s largest known open-air graveyard, better known as Mount Everest. Since it was first summited in 1953, there have been over 200 deaths. We discuss the effect climbers experience in the Death Zone and how some of the most known bodies scattered across the mountain top ended up there.
