The “Rainbow Valley,” despite its poetic name, is a gruesome place where dozens of dead climbers lie, saved from frost. The bright colours of the mountain jackets contrast with the whiteness of the snow, giving an impressive picture of the dangers of climbing Mount Everest. Each of the bodies tells the tragic story of a failed attempt to reach the summit.
Marine fossils: a geological puzzle
A surprising discovery has stunned scientists: Sea fossils have been found at the top of Mount Everest. This strange discovery confirms the theory of plate tectonics, which proclaims that Mount Everest was once part of the seabed before it was lifted by the movements of tectonic plates millions of years ago.
Environmental Challenges: Everest in Danger
In addition to historical and mysterious discoveries, Everest is struggling with a serious pollution problem. Every year, climbers leave behind tons of waste, including human droppings. It is estimated that 5,500 kg of waste accumulated at the top, which pollute water and soil and endanger the health of the local population. Efforts are being made to clean up the mountain, but the challenge remains enormous.
Inference
