Mount Everest: The Mallory Mystery

5/6/2013

Picture
Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay are famous all over the world for being the first people to climb Mount Everest in 1953.

Picture
But there are some people who believe that a man named George Mallory got to the top in 1924!
It has been impossible to prove this because sadly George Mallory did not make it back from Everest. 
Picture
Mallory was one of the first people to ever attempt to climb Everest.
It was a very brave thing to do because no one had ever climbed that high before.

Now when people climb Everest there are ropes for safety and people know which is the safest way to go up and down but Mallory did not know any of this.

Mallory was last seen with his climbing partner Sandy Irvine only 250 metres from the top!

Picture
In 1999 Mallory's body was found on the face of Everest a few hundred metres below where he had be climbing.

It was obvious that he had slipped and fallen. He had a broken leg.
Picture
The people who found him were able to tell who he was by looking at the labels on his clothes. They said a prayer and made a pile of stones to mark the place where he was. They brought some of his things home to his family.
Picture
The BBC made a documentary about Mallory called "The Wildest Dream".

We have been learning about Alexander Graham Bell in history this week. He invented the telephone nearly 150 years ago. He was born in Scotland but lived in America for most of his life!
We made our own simple telephone using plastic cups and string. If you are making your own one at home remember it won't work well unless the string in pulled tight!
