Are Fallen Hiker’s Bodies used as Landmarks on Everest?

The bodies of some of the fallen hikers on Mount Everest are used as
landmarks for mountain climbers.

As of 2014, over 200 of the climbers who have attempted to scale Mount
Everest, the highest mountain in the world at approximately 29,029 feet
(8,848 m,) have not survived. These fallen hikers’ bodies are used as
landmarks on Everest for other climbers. The corpses are typically left on
the mountain because it would be too dangerous to attempt to move them down
off the mountain. Due to the freezing temperatures, many of the bodies of
the fallen hikers are well-preserved in the ice and snow. Climbers have
died of falls, freezing temperatures, avalanches, exhaustion, and altitude
sickness.
