A National Geographic documentary team, including 'Free Solo's Jimmy Chin, has discovered partial remains on Mount Everest believed to belong to British explorer Andrew 'Sandy' Irvine. Irvine disappeared nearly 100 years ago while attempting to summit Everest with George Mallory. The discovery includes a foot encased in a boot and a sock bearing Irvine's initials. This finding may shed light on one of the greatest adventure mysteries in history, potentially revealing whether Irvine and Mallory reached the summit before their disappearance.
