Recently, the Nepal Army said that it took almost two months this year to successfully transport the remains of four climbers from the "death zone" above 8,000 meters above sea level on Mount Everest, and removed up to 11 tons of garbage.
The operation is part of a mountain cleanup campaign launched in Nepal since 2019.
The "death zone" is a high-altitude area above 8,000 meters above sea level, where oxygen is scarce, temperatures are extremely low, ultraviolet radiation is strong, and natural disasters such as avalanches and ice avalanches are threatened. In such an environment, it is difficult for even the most experienced climber to survive. Therefore, it is undoubtedly a very challenging task to bring back the remains of the victims from such a site.
Nepal has provided a professional mountaineering team and advanced equipment for the operation. They overcame extreme weather, harsh terrain and physical limits to successfully transport four bodies down the mountain, while removing 11 tons of garbage.
Nepal has demonstrated to the world its respect for the natural environment and the dignity of the deceased. At the same time, it also reminds every climber that while pursuing the limit, they must respect nature, protect the environment, and cherish life.
The Nepalese military's action to bring back four bodies and clean up 11 tons of garbage from the death zone at an altitude of 8,000 meters is not only a tribute and respect for the deceased, but also a protection and care for the natural environment. This action not only demonstrates the Nepalese government's respect for environmental protection and the dignity of human remains, but also shows their resilience and determination in the face of extreme challenges.
