Five bodies, including one skeleton, have finally been recovered from Mount Everest’s so-called ‘death zone’ after the Nepali army deployed a dozen military personnel and 18 sherpas to clean up the high Himalayas.
Authorities started the operation in 2019 and, this year, they set a goal to recover five bodies from the ‘death zone’, which is at an altitude of 8,000 metres (26,247 feet).
