Partial Remains of British Explorer Andrew 'Sandy' Irvine Found on Everest After 100 Years
Oct 11, 2024, 02:01 PM
A National Geographic documentary team has discovered what are believed to be the partial remains of British explorer Andrew 'Sandy' Irvine on Mount Everest. Irvine, who disappeared in 1924 alongside fellow climber George Mallory, has been the subject of one of mountaineering's greatest mysteries. The discovery, which includes a foot encased in a boot and a sock bearing Irvine's initials, could potentially shed light on whether the pair were the first to reach Everest's summit, nearly 30 years before Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's successful ascent in 1953. The remains were found by a team that included renowned climber and filmmaker Jimmy Chin, known for the documentary 'Free Solo'. The find may finally solve the century-old mystery surrounding Irvine and Mallory's disappearance.
