Long-lost Mt. Everest climber may have been found

The discovery of a foot encased in a sock with 'A.C. Irvine' could indicate that Andrew 'Sandy' Irvine, who vanished near Everest's summit in 1924, has been found.

While the fate of Irvine and George Mallory remains uncertain, finding Irvine's remains could help locate a long-lost Kodak camera, potentially providing photographic proof of summit success.

Climbers have debated the fate of Mallory and Irvine for decades. Mallory's famous pursuit of conquering Everest was driven by the simple reasoning that 'it's there.'

Despite Mallory's body being found in 1999, there has been no definitive evidence to confirm whether he and Irvine reached Everest's summit before their disappearance.
