Don't mean to sound morbid, but.......

I have read on numerous websites that the ice on the top of Mount Everest is melting, causing the dead bodies to become visible. Apparently there are over

200 bodies on the trails leading to the peak and the peak itself. I have zoomed in on the area with GE and have found no bodies.

G'day firemandude.

Unfortunately nothing lasts forever especially when aggravated by climate change weather you believe in climate change or not as the proof is becoming clear at the top of the world.

Rubbish and bodies being uncovered by melting snow and ice are not only becoming a climbing hazard but a health hazard as they decay.

A quick search of keywords like "Mt Everest Snow melt" or "Mt Everest Bodies" will pull up many different news and science articles about the subject.

You are very unlikely to see any bodies due to the low resolution of the images and more than likely, most are being covered in snow and ice still.

Some bodies are recovered but only at at enormous expense. Most are left in situ.

 

There is no way to recover the bodies of those that have died on the mountain . There are 306 known fatalities as of 1922 - 2019.
There are approximately 200 that have never been recovered, and approximately 120 that have been positively identified .

Here's the quote .... 


"Three men from the West Bengal government rushed to Kathmandu, taking the 90-minute commercial flight that Debasish Ghosh could not afford. They quickly struck a deal with Mingma Sherpa, the owner of Seven Summit Treks, a major Himalayan expedition company based in Kathmandu. The sides agreed on a price that the government would pay for the two bodies to be recovered: $90,000, roughly the amount the government quietly set aside weeks earlier. The government announced it would pay for the retrievals."



SO they can retrieve bodies, but the price for two was $90,000 , and they can only do this when the location is known and accessable with some degree of safety.
Just  staying at base camp is a danger, their camp is sometimes  hit by avalanches...


For bodies on or near the chosen route, the sherpas may nudge them over into the snow, to slide down out of view... and join a glacier..
