George Mallory - Historical Footage at Everest

On the 8th of June, 1924, George Mallory and Andrew (Sandy) Irvine were attempting to reach the summit of Mt. Everest. They were last seen on the northeast ridge, a few hundred meters from the top of the mountain. Then they disappeared.

For seventy-five years, no one knew what had happened - until Mallory’s mummified body was found. Irvine is still missing. See these famous climbers, in their heyday, in this video clip which features historical footage.
