Mallory and Irvine - Climbing Everest

In June of 1924, George Mallory and Andrew ("Sandy") Irvine (two British mountaineers) hoped to reach the top of Mt. Everest. They were last seen by a team member when they were not far from the summit. Then a cloud enveloped them and they were never seen alive again.

This video features historic footage of the men in their favored environment.
