Global warming has exposed 5 unidentified bodies on Mount Everest, retrieved by Nepal's army amid concerns over the peak's transformation into a graveyard. Approximately 300 bodies remain on the mountain, with recent deaths including British climber Dan Paterson. Overcrowding and risks in the "death zone" are exacerbated by melting snow, making recovery efforts challenging. The Nepalese army, with climbers, removed 11 tonnes of rubbish during a 55-day operation. Calls to limit climbing permits intensify amid safety concerns and revenue debates, underscoring ongoing environmental and safety issues on the world's highest peak.
