53. The Last Image Before They Left, Never to Return
During the 1924 British Mount Everest expedition, George Mallory and his partner Andrew “Sandy” Irvine disappeared on the northeast ridge of the mountain. They were attempting to make the first ascent of the world’s highest summit. Mallory and Irvine were last seen approximately 800 vertical feet from the peak.
Shortly before beginning their ascent, a picture of the two climbers was taken at their camp at the base of Mount Everest. The two never returned. It is still unknown whether or not they had reached their goal before dying.
