Human health becomes meaningless at the top of Everest's roof

Why did the climbers conquer Mount Everest see so many bodies on the way, and why did they not remove the bodies for a long time (about a few dozen years) but leave the status quo?

Green Shoes ('Green Boot') were killed in 1996, one of the most famous bodies Everest used to mark the distance.

That's because the bodies are mostly located in a special area called ' Death Zone ' - the snow-covered land at an altitude of over 8000m , when entering this area the body will catch head " died a little ", in other words death will come slowly without special equipment.

A lot of people were killed when they reached this area and it was impossible to save lives here because the rescuer could be exhausted and kill themselves, and this was extremely expensive. To make it easier to imagine, carrying a corpse at the foot of a mountain can cost several thousand dollars depending on the altitude and this requires 6 to 8 healthy people because an average person weighing 80 Kg can weigh up to 150 Kg when dead and frozen. So those who climb the mountain at this altitude when they see someone who has stopped breathing because of exhaustion, they are left in that position.

Hannelore Schmatz, people assume that she has relied on her feet and never wakes up.This way of death is most common here.

It is estimated that there are about 200 corpses scattered throughout the Himalayas. Most corpses are kept in perfect condition because low temperature slows down the decomposition process.

Let's learn about the speciality of this ' Death Zone '.

The human body starts to stop functioning at the 'Death Zone'

Dead bodies everywhere on the way to the top of the mountain.

Our body only works for a short time at altitudes above 8000m. At this height, the amount of oxygen is extremely thin and rare, it is not enough to maintain the functioning of the brain, heart, muscles and other internal organs. In addition, the use of the muscles needed to climb the mountain will also cause the oxygen content that is already rare in the body, which is why it is easy for mountain climbers to get frostbite and cold burns. At this height the blood in the body is very thick, so maintaining the amount of water in the body is necessary.

When at this height, the use of pure oxygen cylinders is mandatory and this causes the brain to begin to slow down. Some climbers shared that she could see the rally point just 200m away from her but it took 2 hours to go there. Keeping calm at this height is extremely difficult, most people feel very discouraged and want to give up.

Must communicate with eyes and body

Mount Everest climbers are very savvy because it will lose the oxygen needed for breathing and climbing. So they often use eye contact to communicate with each other and they can know each other's situation with their eyes. When people arrive at the rally site, most people will hug, laugh or cry. Conversations on the top of the mountain are a rarity.

Health does not win the height

Interestingly, no matter how healthy a person is, when they are 8000 meters above sea level, that health is meaningless. Elevation affects the body from the inside and it only affects the muscles in a very small part. In addition, studies show that some people perform better at altitudes higher than sea level because of their genes.

Taste changes

Extremely low temperatures cause taste buds on the tongue to change the way they sense the taste of food and this may not be very pleasant. Even telling the kind of food we like when we are on this altitude is a disaster.

In general, the reason people always want to conquer this extremely dangerous mountain is because they want to get the feeling of conquering the roof of the world and do what ordinary people can hardly do.
