EVEREST’S GREATEST MYSTERY

DISCOVERY CHANNEL

In 1999, the preserved body of George Mallory, one of the two explorers who vanished during their journey to summit Mount Everest in 1924, was discovered by a group of researchers on the north face of the mountain. This fueled the speculation that both he and the other explorer, Andrew Irvine, were indeed the first to successfully summit Earth’s highest mountain before succumbing to the frost. Irvine’s final resting place, however, has never been found.

Everest’s Greatest Mystery will track a team of expert explorers and climbers, led by Jake Norton – one of the climbers who discovered Mallory’s remains – as they journey to the top of Everest to investigate the scene of the tragedy in the hopes of unearthing Irvine’s body, along with the expedition’s famed Kodak camera.

The film will utilize satellite images as a search guide to piece together the clues and evidence that could lead to Irvine and his camera. If found, the developed film from their trek could have the potential to change history.
