(24 News) The remains of the missing mountaineer who reached the summit of Mount Everest, the highest in the world, were found after 100 years.
100 years ago, Sandy Irwin, who went missing in 1924, set out to climb Mount Everest. Along with Sandy Irvine, her partner George Miller also went missing.
Last month, members of a documentary team on Mount Everest found a shoe hidden in the snow. Investigations revealed that the shoe and socks found by the team belonged to Sandy Irvine.
Sandy Irvine had a camera whose film could not be developed, researchers say that if the camera is found, it will be known if Sandy went over the top.
However, now his family members have expressed their feelings after his remains have come to light almost 100 years later.
According to the report, Sandy Irvine’s family provided their DNA sample to identify the foot, while researchers believe the shoes and feet are Irvine’s because they were labeled with Irvine’s name.

Julie Summers, the great-granddaughter of Irvine’s brother, called the discovery “extraordinary,” saying that at one point she had given up hope of finding any sign of her great-uncle “Sandy.” Now the wait is on. Whether Iron’s camera, which was with them and which is likely to contain the peak image, can also be found.
It should be noted that New Zealand’s Sir Edmund climbed Mount Everest in 1953. If Sandy Irwin is seen on the top of Mount Everest in the photos, this honor will be given to him.
