Bodies of four climbers found at highest camp in Mount Everest
With the latest discovery, the death toll on the Nepalese side of the world's highest mountain has gone up to nine in the past month.
According to reports, the four bodies – two Nepalis and two foreigners – were found by the Sherpas at camp IV – located at 8,000 metres (26,246 feet) – on Tuesday night when they were searching for the body of another mountaineer, Vladimir Strba of Slovakia, who died near the 8,850 metres (29,035 feet) summit during the weekend.
The bodies are yet to be identified. It is yet to be established how these climbers died.
The Himalayan Times reported quoting sources at the base camp that contact with the four climbers, sponsored by a new trekking company, was lost on Sunday when they were last seen near the Balcony area.
