The Mount Everest Death Zone
Himalayas
There’s a point when climbing Mount Everest, where the oxygen becomes so scarce that it’s impossible to breathe. If you get caught there unprepared, you won’t be coming back. What’s even worse, is that climbing the mountain is in such high demand, that there’s a line up of people waiting to get to the top, and they’re all sitting in the death zone, waiting.
Retrieving the bodies that have been lost up there is too risky for climbers and the air’s too thin for helicopters, so if you lose your life on Everest, it becomes your final resting place.
