Science: Kanchenjunga Couloir
(2 of 2)
"Next day we brought the dead down through the soft snow to an island of rock emerging from the sea of ice and surrounded by an incomparable mountain circus. There we buried them today, not trying to hide our tears, and joined all our forces to build a tomb worthy of the man who gave his life for a great cause.
"The grave was planted over and over with green flowers. From a height of 5.400 metres it looks out over the Zemu Glacier and behind rise the ruddy sheer walls of Kanchenjunga. At the head we have erected a gigantic cairn."
