The dead who guard Mount Everest
It’s always interesting the stuff journalists either deliberately cover up or simply choose not to report because it conflicts with the theme or some other aspect of the tale they’ve been assigned to write.
So that when one chooses to focus on those things that are rarely mentioned about a well-known place and also to photograph them, the shock can be profound. As it is here, with the dead mountain climbers whose colorfully-clothed corpses litter the summit and near-summit of Mount Everest.
Who knew? Very few.
