The remains of a British climber believed to be Andrew “Sandy” Irvine, who disappeared while attempting to scale Mount Everest in 1924, may have been found nearly 100 years later. The discovery was made by a team of climbers and filmmakers working with National Geographic. Irvine, along with his climbing partner George Mallory, vanished near the summit of the world’s tallest mountain. They were trying to become the first people to reach the top.
The team found a boot and sock with “AC Irvine” stitched on it, which led them to believe they had located Irvine’s remains. This discovery could also help find a missing camera that might hold photos proving whether the pair reached the summit before they died. While Mallory’s body was found in 1999, no evidence has yet been uncovered to confirm if they succeeded in their mission.
The climbers have been careful to keep the exact location secret, hoping to prevent treasure hunters from disturbing the site. Irvine’s family may compare DNA with the remains to confirm his identity. This discovery is a major step forward in solving a mystery that has fascinated historians and climbers for nearly a century.
