Into Thin Air - Jon Krakauer - książka

Opis

On May 9th, 1996, five separate expeditions began their quest to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Initially, conditions appeared to be ideal for climbing. However, within just 24 hours, the situation turned tragic. One climber lost their life, and 23 others found themselves in a dire fight for survival as they faced a violent storm that menaced to sweep them off the mountain. By the end of that day, the devastating event claimed the lives of eight climbers, marking it as one of the darkest days in the history of Everest expeditions.
