Earth is the only planet in the universe that has both water and life. The highest peak on earth is Mount Everest and there has always been an eagerness among people to climb Mount Everest from the very beginning. Mount Everest has been visited from time to time by many different people and one who reaches the summit, his name is written forever in history.
Many people always keep trying to climb this mountain, but only a few succeed in this journey. Some of the survivors returned safely but unfortunately, there are some who lost their lives on this journey. One such mountaineer was "Andrew Irvine", who took part in the 1924 British Everest Expedition, but unluckily, died before reaching the summit. Andrew attempted this journey with his climbing partner, George Mallory but they were not successful in this endeavor as both mysteriously disappeared somewhere high on the mountain. Later, a search operation was also conducted, but the dead body of both was not found.
In 1999, Mallory's body (skeleton) was found, in which there were marks of rope around his waist. This suggested that both might have fallen down while climbing the rope, which led to their death, while Irvine's body has not been found till date. Now after this incident many climbers claimed that they had seen the spirit of Andrew Irvine on Everest. According to them, Andrew does not harm anyone but encourages the climbers so that they can complete this journey, which he himself could never complete.
