What makes you rub your eyes so many times in disbelief?

There are several reasons why climbers who die on Everest will not be brought home.

In addition to the extreme air temperature and terrain, the bodies are very difficult to find because they will be quickly buried by the ice there. Even if found, they are already attached to the ground and frozen.

The human body will feel 10 times heavier when on Mount Everest due to existing barometric pressure. Just carrying yourself makes climbers easily feel tired, of course, it is very difficult if you have to carry someone else’s body.

Another reason is that the cost to climb Mount Everest is very expensive, which is around USD 50 thousand or equivalent to Rp. 705 million. The cost of evacuating the bodies is the same as the cost of climbing Everest.
