Books like Ghosts of Everest by Jochen Hemmleb


¿Fue realmente Edmund Hillary el primer hombre en llegar, en 1953, al techo del mundo? El reciente hallazgo del cadáver congelado del montañero británico George Leigh Mallory, desaparecido en 1924, ha arrojado muchas dudas al respecto. Con este hallazgo parece haberse resuelto uno de los mayores misterios de la historia del montañismo del siglo XX. Mallory, el montañero británico más experto de su época, y su compañero Irvine estaban a pocos metros de la cima y a corta distancia de convertirse en los primeros seres humanos en alcanzar el punto más alto del planeta, cuando desaparecieron en la niebla y entraron para siempre en la historia. El 1 de mayo de 1999, la Expedición de Investigación Mallory & Irvine encontró el cuerpo de Mallory —asombrosamente bien conservado— en la cara norte del Everest. *Los fantasmas del Everest* es el apasionante relato de los protagonistas de ese hallazgo y expone por primera vez lo que esas nuevas pruebas revelan acerca del último día de Mallory e Irvine. Este libro presenta la historia exclusiva de los hallazgos de la expedición de 1999 junto con un sorprendente análisis forense de las pruebas recientemtne descubiertas y las respuestas a la pregunta fundamental: ¿alcanzaron Mallory e Irvine la cumbre del Everest casi tres décadas antes que Hillary y Norgay? Ofrece además una apasionante reconstrucción, paso a paso, del ascenso de Mallroy e Irvine en 1924.
