Why climb Mount Everest? Englishman George Herbert Leigh Mallory said in reply- 'Because it is there' in a March 1923 interview with The New York Times. On his third expedition to the mountain in June 1924- Mallory disappeared on the North-East ridge during his ascent- having been sighted only a few hundred yards from the summit. In 1993- Makoto Fukumachi- photographer for a Japanese expedition- stumbles across an old Kodak camera. Could it be Mallory's camera? What does its discovery mean for the history of mountaineering and Everest itself?
