300 deceased mountaineers exposed as ice melts on Mount Everest; Nepal's mountain clean-up campaign retrieves five bodies.

As ice melts on Mount Everest, climate change exposes hundreds of deceased mountaineers, with 300 deaths since the 1920s. This year, a rescue team retrieved five bodies as part of Nepal's mountain clean-up campaign, working to retrieve corpses and reduce environmental impact. The task is dangerous, as rescuers must chip away ice with axes and sometimes use boiling water to release frozen bodies.
