NOVA: Everest - The Death Zone (1998)

Member Rating:

We may never know what drives people to risk life and limb tackling the most dangerous peak in the world, but Nova is there investigating the hard science of what happens to human bodies once they enter "the death zone." Frozen, oxygen-depleted, dehydrated, buffeted by high winds and solar radiation -- "Everest: The Death Zone" measures all of the biological and mental effects of such an environment through the use of brain scans taken before and after an expedition. Follow a group of Himalayan climbers on their trek to the summit, and find out first-hand why Everest claims human lives so easily. ~ Sarah Welsh, Rovi

Very interesting story about the desire to do something hard and then to benefit from doing it by recording information for others. Photography was spectacular.

I actually got a 2 dvd version of this from the local library. Very interesting to see close up the effects of climbing to 28,000 feet, the preparation and process of getting there, and just how incredibly dangerous it is.
