The tragic avalanche that claimed the lives of seven native porters serves as a sobering warning about the potential consequences of ambition and the responsibility that comes with it. This account stands as a testament to the early 20th-century spirit of adventure and the enduring allure of Mount Everest, inviting listeners to reflect on the balance between aspiration and caution in their own pursuits.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>34397</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/61a39b851e381300fd755dd590829184.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>War Impressions Being a Record in Colour-Mortimer Menpes, Dorothy Menpes</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/war-impressions-being-a-record-in-colour-mortimer-menpes-dorothy-menpes--73415204</link><description><![CDATA["War Impressions: Being a Record in Colour" by Mortimer and Dorothy Menpes captures the vivid experiences and emotional landscapes of war through striking illustrations and insightful commentary.

Despite not reaching the peak, their endeavors marked significant milestones in mountaineering. The narrative begins with George Mallory and Guy Bullock, who discovered the northern approach to Everest during the 1921 British Reconnaissance Expedition. Although their expedition was exploratory, Mallory became the first European to set foot on Everest, reaching an altitude of 7,005 metres. Their findings paved the way for the 1922 expedition, where George Finch made history by using oxygen for the first time and reaching an altitude of 8,320 m - the first human to climb above 8,000 m. However, the expedition was not without its tragedies. Mallory and Col. Felix Nortons second attempt ended in an avalanche that claimed the lives of seven native porters.
