The World's Highest Graveyard: Sagarmatha National Park

The World's Highest Graveyard: Sagarmatha National Park

We are heading to the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest in Sagarmatha National Park. In the past 80 years over 300 people have died on this mountain and many of their bodies have never been recovered. While tourism to summit Mount Everest has brought money to the country of Nepal it has also brought a huge problem - litter. In a climate where survival is more important than being respectful to our planet, over 100,000 pounds of trash have been left on top of Mount Everest, contaminating their water resources. Today we will join a group of Nepali Sherpas who head out to summit Mount Everest to rid its peaks of garbage but to also recover bodies, something that has never before been done. With avalanches, freezing temperatures, and oxygen levels not compatible with survival, this team has a lot of obstacles to overcome if they are to make it out alive.
