Interesting article on the BBC website about how one in ten attempts on Everest leads to death. Perhaps another way in which our perceptions of extreme environments have changed, but the extremity of the environment persists. The leader of the article suggests
‘People are still dying on Mount Everest, despite improved technology and a better understanding of the harsh environment.’
