Why are climbers who die on Mount Everest not brought home?

There are many reasons why climbers who die on Mount Everest are not brought home.

In addition to the extreme temperatures and terrain, bodies are very difficult to find because they are quickly buried by the ice there. If they are found, they are already stuck to the ground and frozen.

The human body on Mount Everest will feel 10 times heavier due to the barometric pressure. Mountaineers get tired easily when carrying themselves alone; of course, it is much more difficult if you have to carry someone else's body.

Another reason is that the cost of climbing Mount Everest is very expensive, which is approximately USD50 thousand or Rp705 million. The cost required to extract the bodies is the same as the cost of climbing Mount Everest.
