Mount Everest And The Latest Horrifying Discoveries That Has Scientists In A Frenzy!

**The Most Terrifying New Discoveries on Mount Everest That Shocked the Scientific World**

Have you ever wondered what mysteries are hidden on the top of the world’s highest mountain – Everest? With an incredible height of 8,848 meters above sea level, Everest is not only a symbol of challenge and conquest but also contains countless mysteries that amaze the world. From terrifying avalanches, fierce storms to thin air lacking oxygen, every step closer to the top of Everest requires courage and strong will.

However, a recent shocking discovery has made the global scientific community shudder. What was once considered a legend has now appeared more clearly than ever, raising many questions about the secrets hidden deep within this majestic mountain. Today, we will explore 17 of the most terrifying mysteries that have ever happened on Mount Everest – from unexplained supernatural phenomena to newly discovered creepy truths. Are you ready? Let’s get started!

### **17. 200 Bodies Left on Everest**

According to a report by AFP on June 27, due to the effects of global warming, the snow and ice on Everest are melting faster, revealing a large amount of garbage and the bodies of hundreds of unfortunate people. This phenomenon is posing a big challenge to the cleanup work in the Everest region.

It is estimated that at least 50 tons of garbage and more than 200 bodies have been discovered on Everest and neighboring peaks during this year’s campaign to clean up the “Roof of the World”. More than 200 climbers have lost their lives on this treacherous mountainside, and what’s even more terrifying is that many of the bodies are still intact, frozen in time, becoming tragic landmarks along the way to the summit.

One of the most famous is that of Tsering Paljor, often called “Green Boots” because of the distinctive color of his shoes. Paljor died in a severe storm in 1996, and since then his body has lain near the summit as a grim symbol of the cruelty of the place. Sometimes the snow covers his body, but when the weather changes, his frozen form appears before the eyes of climbers. To continue their journey, they are forced to step over his feet or face the harsh reality and turn back to abandon their dream of conquering Everest.

For professional climbers, encountering a dead body along the way is considered an inevitable part of the journey – tragic but unavoidable. They understand that Everest makes no distinction, and every step is a trade-off between life and death. But for the rest of the world, the thought that a body can lie exposed for decades without anyone taking it down is still unacceptable. Is conquering Everest worth risking human life?

### **16. “Death Zone” on Mount Everest**

When it comes to Everest, we cannot ignore one of the scariest areas on the journey to conquer it – the “Death Zone”. This is an area above 8,000 meters, where the air becomes extremely thin, with only 1/3 of the oxygen content at sea level. This makes it difficult for even climbers equipped with oxygen tanks to breathe.

The lack of oxygen, combined with extremely low temperatures, causes the body to rapidly deteriorate, and sometimes even the strongest will cannot withstand the harshness of nature. The “Death Zone” is a place where even the smallest mistake can lead to death. The weather here can change suddenly and unpredictably – a sudden blizzard or strong wind can disorient a climber and cause him to freeze to death.

Those who fail to cross the “Death Zone” often become part of Everest forever. Their bodies, frozen over the years, become eerie landmarks on the path to the summit. But despite the obvious dangers, the “Death Zone” continues to attract brave and resilient explorers from all over the world. For them, surviving this deadly area is the pinnacle of courage and endurance.

### **15. The Mystery of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine**

When most of us think of the first climbers to reach the summit of Everest, we immediately think of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, the two climbers officially recognized as having reached the summit in 1953. But there is another mystery that could change history – the story of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine, two British climbers who may have reached the summit in 1924, nearly three decades before Hillary.

On June 8, 1924, Mallory and Irvine were last seen through a telescope, about 100 meters from the summit. Those two small black dots were the last traces of them before they disappeared into the snowstorm and were never seen again. Did they actually set foot on Everest before their tragedy? This is a question that explorers and historians have been trying to answer for nearly a century.

In 1999, Mallory’s body was found at an altitude of about 8,230 meters. But what made people curious was that he did not carry a photo of his wife – the photo he had promised to leave on Everest if he succeeded. Did he fulfill his promise and place that photo on the roof of the world? This mystery has yet to be solved.

At 4:17 p.m., a magnitude 8 earthquake struck the mountain range and surrounding areas of Nepal, causing the worst disaster in Everest history. It was the deadliest day the mountain had ever seen, with 18 people killed on Everest and more than 9,000 people lost their lives across Nepal and neighboring countries. Jim Davidson was lucky to survive the earthquake, but what he faced afterward was a fierce battle for survival. Trapped for 11 days in the dangerous and difficult terrain, Davidson not only fought against the harsh nature but also faced internal challenges. Despite being injured and exhausted, he still persevered to help other victims trapped with him, never giving up hope.

Although he was over 50 years old at the time, Davidson’s indomitable spirit was not shaken. The earthquake and the arduous days of survival could not extinguish his dream of conquering Everest. After returning, Davidson spent the next year training both physically and mentally, preparing himself to return to the mountain that almost took his life. He trained up to 12 hours a day, determined to face the greatest challenge of his life once again.

Finally, in 2016, Jim Davidson returned to Everest with more determination than ever. After many years of perseverance and tireless efforts, he conquered the highest peak in the world, making his lifelong dream come true. From the top of Everest, he sent an emotional and proud message to his wife: *”I am standing on the highest peak of the world!”* He overcame all difficulties to fulfill his dream of standing on the top of Everest and looking down on the world from the highest place on the planet.

### **Sherpa Attack**

When it comes to climbing Everest, many people imagine it as a sacred experience, where they can stand on the “roof of the world” and admire the majestic beauty of nature. However, for Jonathan Griffiths – a British climber – and his two companions, the dream journey quickly turned into a nightmare when they faced an angry crowd of Sherpas, willing to do anything to protect their land and culture.

The Sherpas are the indigenous people living at the foot of Everest, famous for their excellent climbing skills and extraordinary endurance at high altitudes. However, they are also very proud and fierce in protecting the rules and traditions on this sacred mountain. Griffiths and his team accidentally broke some rules without knowing. At first, they thought it was just a small misunderstanding, but the reality was much more serious.

After the initial argument, the Sherpas returned with a group of about 100 people, armed with sticks and stones. The men wore scarves covering their faces, showing their anger and determination. They attacked Griffiths and his team mercilessly, turning the confrontation into a full-fledged battle. Despite attempts to negotiate a peaceful resolution, the climbers quickly realized that they were facing a life-threatening situation.

Fortunately, in their desperation, some brave climbers from Camp 2 intervened, including Melissa Arnot, an American climber who had conquered Everest four times. With her experience and deep understanding of the Sherpas, Arnot quickly realized the seriousness of the situation. She immediately warned Griffiths and his team that they needed to leave the mountain immediately before it was too late. Following the advice, they quickly retreated, giving up their dream of conquering Mount Everest, which they had prepared and longed for for so long.

Despite escaping the dangerous situation, they had to face a bitter truth: Everest is not always a place to demonstrate courage or personal strength. Sometimes, survival and respect for local culture are more important than any achievement.

### **Strange sounds on Everest**

One of the most terrifying stories passed down among climbers is the phenomenon of mysterious sounds resounding on the top of Everest when night falls. Many people say that at night, the legendary mountain seems to “awaken”, emitting terrifying echoes, causing anyone who hears it to hold their breath in fear. This sound is like the angry roar of a giant creature that has just woken up after thousands of years of sleep.

This mysterious phenomenon was recorded by Dave Hahn – a veteran climber who has conquered Everest 15 times. Hahn recounted that one quiet night, while he was trying to rest, there were shocking sounds as if the entire mountain was collapsing. When he looked outside, he saw huge blocks of snow and ice falling from the top of the mountain, creating a loud bang. The noise was so loud that he could not sleep and wondered what could have caused this chaotic scene.

After much research, scientists have finally found an explanation. They believe that the terrifying noises heard by the climbers are actually the sounds of ice as the glaciers around Everest begin to crack due to rapid temperature changes. When the sun sets, the temperature on the Himalayan peaks drops suddenly, causing the ice to shrink. This sudden change in temperature causes the ice to crack, creating loud sounds that sound like the roar of a wild animal awakened from a long sleep.

However, these sounds are not just a natural phenomenon but also a sign of a bigger problem – climate change. The rapidly melting glaciers not only make strange noises but also serve as a warning about the impact of climate change on the natural environment. Scientists warn that the melting of glaciers not only threatens the water supply of millions of people living at the foot of the mountains, but also increases the risk of avalanches and ice slides, directly threatening the lives of climbers and local residents.
