View of the peak of Mount Everest from inside a research helicopter flying in the Himalayas. Scientists have been collecting snow and meltwater samples. The seasonal melting of the Himalayan snow and ice supplies water for the major rivers of south Asia, including the Ganges and the Indus, which provide irrigation for crops that feed millions of people. Loss of the ice will lead to low water levels and droughts. Bare rock absorbs more heat from the Sun than ice does, making the ice-free regions warm even faster. Filmed in the Himalayas, Nepal.

Directed by Dr. Futer, MAN AGAINST MOUNT EVEREST shows the 1952 Swiss Mount Everest expedition led by Edouard Wyss-Dunant. <p>His team including Raymond Lambert and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay reached a height of about 8,595 metres (28,199 ft) on the southeast ridge, setting a new climbing altitude record, opening up a new route to Mount Everest and paving the way for further successes by other expeditions.<p><p>The oxygen sets were barely operable and when the two men continued in the morning, they were effectively climbing without oxygen. They struggled heroically, at times crawling on all fours, hindered by the dead weight of malfunctioning oxygen sets, finally grinding to a halt near 8595m, approximately 250m short of the summit. Assuming that George Mallory and Andrew Irvine did not reach higher in their 1924 expedition, this was the highest that anyone had ever been.<p><p>The results of this first Swiss Everest expedition were remarkable, and exceeded even the most optimistic expectations. At the first attempt, they had opened up a new route to Everest, and had reached an extraordinary height on the south-western ridge in difficult conditions. In the opinion of the extremely critical Marcel Kurz, this expedition could almost be compared to a victory. It paved the way for further successes by other expeditions.<p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
