Mount Everest Claims More Lives Amid Deadly Climbing Season
British climber Daniel Paterson and his guide Pastenji Sherpa have been missing since Tuesday and are presumed dead in Mount Everest's "death zone" after being hit by falling ice during their descent. Despite extensive search efforts, the two men could not be recovered. Their disappearance highlights the dangers of climbing Everest, where low oxygen levels and severe altitude sickness pose significant risks. Paterson had documented his journey on Instagram and was raising money for a family affected by cancer.
