Since the early 1920s, more than 330 climbers have died on Mount Everest. 200 bodies remain on the mountain.
Possibly the most famous body is that of “Green Boots,” the body is believed to belong to Tsewang Paljor, an Indian climber and constable with the Indo-Tibetan Border Police.
Tsewang was among those affected by the tragic 1996 Mount Everest Disaster, which held the grim record as the deadliest single incident on Mt. Everest until the 2014 Everest Avalanche Disaster.
As a storm engulfed the region, reducing visibility to zero and plunging temperatures, Paljor, separated from his climbing companions and battling the cold, sought refuge under a meager covering to shield himself from the elements.
Tragically, this makeshift shelter became his final resting place.
All expeditions from the north side encountered the body until it was moved in 2014.
