Lost on Everest the search for Mallory & Irvine

On 8 June 1924 George Mallory and Andrew Irvine left their tent high on the slopes of Mount Everest and climb into history. They were seen at 12.50 pm, just 240 meters from the summit and "going strong for the top". Within minutes, Mallory and Irvine had disappeared and were never seen again. For the next 75 years what had happened to them remained the most famous mystery in the history of mountaineering. Could these two pioneering climbers have reached the summit, 29 years before Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay? Where and how did they perish? This video is the gripping and intensely moving film which follows the BBC sponsered expedition in March 1999 in Search of Mallory and Irvine.

"In May 1999, when Conrad Anker and his team accomplished their mission on Everest to discover the frozen body of George Mallory, legendary British mountaineer, their work had only just begun. Was there physical evidence to prove that Mallory reached the summit of Mount Everest 29 years before Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay? The film reveals the clues to this mystery offered by Mallory's body, clothes and personal belongings and offers archival film footage of Mallory's expeditions."
