Everest: Last News

Vladimir Putin’s terrifying discussion of escalating conflict in Ukraine and threatening the use of nuclear weapons has sparked memories of Russia’s use of the world’s biggest bomb. The nightmarish recollection comes as Putin said in a broadcast that he had "lots of weapons to reply" to the alleged "nuclear blackmail" Russia was experiencing at the hands of the West.

natural wonders of the world and a majestic "underwater cathedral" of spellbinding beauty.But to the unsuspecting tourist it can mean death itself, the 120 meter-deep sinkhole having apparently claimed hundreds of lives over the years.Indeed, it's not for nothing that the Blue Hole in the Red Sea, off the Egyptian coast, has earned itself the nickname of "the divers' cemetery".And it's believed there are still unrecovered bodies at its bottom even today – just as there are those of climbers who perished on Everest which cannot be safely recovered. It's a fitting analogy because The Blue Hole is to scuba what such fearsome and treacherous peaks are to mountaineering.Its sheer depth and disorientating structure – including a cavernous 26-meter long tunnel – often causes nitrogen narcosis, a condition resulting from breathing certain gases at high pressure.Sufferers experience a sense of confusion not unlike a drunken high and are often left unable to tell up from down.

Everest's worst death toll in seven years is down to "incompetent climbers" being issued permits according to a top mountaineer who had to step over nine corpses on a recent climb.Seasoned climber Nick Hollis was mentally prepared to walk over the long-dead bodies of frozen climbers, but was taken aback by the number of fresh ones en route to the summit.Nepalese officials say 11 people have died on Everest this season - nine on the Nepali side and two on the Tibetan side, making this the deadliest season since 2015.“What I hadn’t expected to see was so many bodies of climbers who’d died either that day or the day before,” Hollis said in an interview at his home in southern England.“It’s no exaggeration to say you are walking over bodies.”The 45-year-old British climber has just conquered Everest and completed all Seven Summits of the world - putting him into an elite group of around 500 people globally who have scaled the highest mountains on all seven continents.His final summit - the 8,850-metre (29,035-foot) peak of Everest in the Himalayas - was made “much tougher than expected”, partly due to the presence of too many slow and inexperienced climbers, perilous to themselves and others.That death toll - coupled with photos seen around the world depicting queues of climbers inching their way up Everest’s south ridge - have raised concerns that authorities are issuing too many summit permits, and that inexperienced mountaineers are being encouraged to undertake the dangerous climb by unscrupulous guiding companies.The Nepalese government issued a record 381 permits this year, each costing $11,000 (£8,700).
