Title: Everest 'death zone' to be cleaned up
Post by: Foxy Brown on April 22, 2010, 09:27:53 PM
A team of 20 Nepalese Sherpas is planning to clean up rubbish and bring the bodies of dead climbers down from the top of Mount Everest.

The Sherpas will work above 8,000m (26,240ft) - in what's known as the "Death Zone" because of the thin air and treacherous conditions. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8633058.stm)
