More than 300 climbers have perished attempting to summit the earth's pinnacle, Mount Everest and at least 200 bodies remain on the mountain, frozen where they fell.
A third of the dead are Sherpas. Sherpas refer to Everest as "Chomolungma" or "Mother Goddess of the World".
They believe the mountain has become angry - that there has been too much death, and the mountain has been desecrated.
Now a new movie has documented the quest of world-renowned mountaineer Mingma Tsiri Sherpa, in his life-threatening journey to retrieve fallen climbers from Everest's Death Zone.
'Everest Dark' follows the effort to reclaim the sacred mountain from decades of exploitation.
The movie was written, directed and produced by Michael Bodnarchuk and Jereme Watt.
