Topics
旁白: 本集讲述了人类征服珠穆朗玛峰的历史，从早期的探险尝试到1953年Hillary和Tenzing Norgay最终登顶的成功，以及过程中面临的挑战和牺牲。探险队克服了恶劣的天气、缺氧、昆布冰瀑等重重困难，最终实现了人类登顶珠穆朗玛峰的壮举。 John Hopkins: 珠穆朗玛峰的征服需要专业知识、耐力以及更好的装备，并为此付出了牺牲。 Mick Conifery: 从19世纪50年代珠穆朗玛峰被测量后，人们就开始尝试攀登，这与当时的探险热潮有关。20世纪20年代，攀登珠穆朗玛峰面临诸多挑战，包括氧气设备简陋、夏尔巴人参与攀登经验不足等。Mallory和Irving的1924年攀登尝试因恶劣天气而失败，他们最终失踪，关于他们是否到达峰顶至今仍存在争议。二战后，尼泊尔对外国人开放，登山者可以尝试从南侧攀登珠穆朗玛峰。昆布冰瀑是珠穆朗玛峰南坡攀登中最危险的路段之一，Eric Shipton和他的团队找到了穿越昆布冰瀑的路线。 旁白: 1953年，英国探险队在John Hunt上校的领导下，最终成功登顶珠穆朗玛峰。探险队使用了改进后的氧气设备、尼龙材料和真空包装食品等先进装备，并依靠团队合作和周密的计划，克服了重重困难。Tenzing Norgay作为经验丰富的夏尔巴向导，为探险队的成功做出了重要贡献。Edmund Hillary和Tenzing Norgay最终成功登顶，实现了人类征服珠穆朗玛峰的梦想。

Standing over 29,000 feet above sea level, the peak of Everest is the highest point on Planet Earth. To the Sherpa people of the Himalayas it is sacred. To foreign adventurers it’s the holy grail of climbing. But what did it take to reach the summit? What was sacrificed to plant a flag on top of the world?

This is a Short History of the Conquest of Everest.
