  abstract: In 1924, the twelve men of the British Mount Everest expedition arrived in Tibet, intending to be the first to summit the world's highest peak. They recruited indigenous Himalayans as porters and guides, setting up base camps along the mountain. During the final ascent attempt, climbers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine disappeared, and were last spotted only 800 feet from the summit. While Mallory's body was discovered in 1999, without the camera he was given to photograph the summit, Irvine's body has never been found. Everest 24 casts a new light on this famous expedition. Leading experts examine the British fascination with Everest, which they deemed the "Third Pole'" present the history of the previous attempts, the 1924 journey and its aftermath, relay Mallory and Irvine's final known hours, spotlight the stories of indigenous Himalayans and provide fresh perspectives on the cultural and ecological meanings of the mountain. Never published and rarely seen images from the collection of the Royal Geographical Society, which, along with the Alpine Club of London, sponsored the 1924 climb, bring the expedition to life, along with hand-colored lantern slides and film stills and the artefacts discovered with George Mallory's body.
