The Qomolangma Formation extends from the mountain summit to the top of the Yellow Band at an elevation of 8,600m. It is composed of dark grey or white parallel laminated bands of Ordovician limestone that are further interlayered with beds of dolomite and argillaceous minerals. The Qomolangma Detachment separates the Qomolangma Formation from the underlying Yellow Band. The North Col Formation constitutes the bulk of Mount Everest and is found at elevations between 7,000m and 8,600m. It is mainly composed of layers of schist, phyllite, and marble. Below the North Col Formation, the base of Mount Everest is made up of the Rongbuk Formation. The slopes of Mount Everest are covered by several glaciers including the Kangshung Glacier, the Rongbuk Glaciers (East, Central, and West), the Pumori Glacier, and the Khumbu Glacier. Several rivers originate from these Climate Evening colored view of Mount Everest from the Gokyo Valley. The warm daytime temperature in July averages only about -2°C at the summit of Mount Everest, while during January, the temperature at the summit averages -36°C and can fall as low as -60°C. Most of the precipitation falls as snow during the summer monsoon from late May to mid-September. The region also experiences sudden storms that can lead to a further drop in the temperatures. The layer of snow on Mount Everest fluctuates annually by 1.5 to 6m and is the highest during September and lowest during May. The mountain summit and the upper slopes of Mou...

The Khumbu Glacier moves an estimated 0.9 to 1.2m (3 to 4ft) down the flank of Mt. Everest every day. Ice entering the fall takes approximately 4.3 years to emerge at the base, which is 2,000 vertical feet lower and one linear mile away. The speed of ice flow and the precipitous elevation drop create a Due to constant glacial motion, snow bridges concealing crevasses and overhanging ice blocks (called The official Himalayan Database records 44 deaths in the icefall between 1953 and 2016. No deaths have been recorded between 2017 and 2021. Prudent climbers place emphasis on avalanche and crevasse-fall survival and rescue techniques prior to entering this terrain. Most climbers try to pass through the icefall before sunrise, when it is usually more immobile due to freezing in the nighttime cold. As sunlight warms the area, ice-melt causes friction within the structure to decline, which increases the rate of flow and hence, crevasse opening and ice-block or serac collapse. The most dangerous time to cross the fall is generally mid-to-late afternoon. Experienced, acclimatized climbers can ascend the icefall in a few hours, while inexperienced or non-altitude-acclimatized climbers may take 10–12 hours to complete the passage. "Camp I" on Everest's South Col route is typically slightly beyond the top of the Khumbu Icefall. • UNITEC Institute of Technology. • . Retrieved 2014-03-18. • ^ a b Krakauer, Jon (21 April 2014). .

PRAKASH MATHEMA / Stringer / Getty Images There are some 200 dead bodies on Mount Everest, serving as grim warnings for other climbers to this day. Mount Everest holds the impressive title of tallest mountain in the world, but many people don’t know about its other, more gruesome title: the world’s largest open-air graveyard. Since 1953, when Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay scaled the summit for the first time, more than 4,000 people have followed in their footsteps, braving the harsh climate and dangerous terrain for a few moments of glory. Some of them, however, never left the mountain, leaving hundreds of dead bodies on Mount Everest. How Many Dead Bodies Are On Mount Everest? The top portion of the mountain, roughly everything above 26,000 feet, is known as the “death zone.” There, the oxygen levels are only at a third of what they are at sea level, and the barometric pressure causes weight to feel ten times heavier. The combination of the two makes climbers feel sluggish, disoriented and fatigued and can cause extreme distress on organs. For this reason, climbers don’t usually last more than 48 hours in this area. The climbers that do are usually left with lingering effects. The ones that aren’t so lucky and To date, These are the stories behind just some of the bodies on Mount Everest that have accumulated over the years.
