The Magnificent Everest

This great mountain holds us in awe of its magnificence and the desire of humans to conquer it. Many have failed. Read about the '99 Expedition, which found the remains of George Mallory, lost on Mount Everest on June 8, 1924, and if it is your wish, view the photographic proof. It truly is an incredible story. There is also so much more at this site. Don't miss Virtual Everest, where you will find animation and video. Other audio/visual features and articles take you back through the past several years so you can learn about various expeditions. Without actually climbing it, this is as close as you can get to the "the lord of all, vast in unchallenged and isolated supremacy" (George Mallory,1924).
