Narrator:
Lying between nepal and tibet,

mount everest attracts roughly


hoping to conquer the peak.

Rose: With temperatures that can
drop to minus-76 degrees fahrenheit,

Narrator:
Upon closer inspection,

the body is equipped
with climbing gear

from what looks like the 1920s.

There's no nylon ropes,
no thermal materials.

This guy was dressed in wool,
cotton, and silk.

Narrator: It leaves little doubt
this body is very old.

Could these be
the long-lost remains

george mallory?

That's the right era for
the mallory-irvine expedition.

But a lot of people
have died on everest.

Bodies have been found
all over the mountain.

Narrator: Englishman george mallory
was one of the very first climbers

to attempt to summit
mount everest in 1921.

♪♪

He tried three times
in two years,

but with no success.

But his tenacity captured
the media's imagination.

He was once asked what made him
want to climb everest,

to which he uttered
the three most famous words

in mountaineering,
"because it's there."

♪♪

On June 8, 1924,

mallory set out from
their final camp

on his fourth
and final summit attempt

Then they find the smoking g*n
they've been looking for.

Inside the preserved clothes

Billson:
Mallory was an expert climber

british expedition

to the mountain in 1921.

♪♪

He was well aware of the risks

Avalanches are frequent

Most victims of avalanches
survive the slide,

but die of suffocation.

They are literally buried alive.

But even under the mass of snow

fight, flail,
anything to get free.

Mallory was lying flat,
face-down,

almost calm.

There is no sign of struggle,
digging, or asphyxiation.

This wasn't an avalanche.

♪♪

Narrator:
Altitude can cause another risk

beyond lack of oxygen
and the cold.

We're talking about
mountain climbing here.

Falling is clearly
a very common way to die.

♪♪

Narrator: Mallory and irvine
would have been tied together

by a rope around the waist
as a safety measure.

That way, if one falls,
the other will catch him.

♪♪

Mallory's body does show
a serious rope-jerk injury

around the waist,
and his leg was fractured,

both indications of a fall.

♪♪

But one thing
just doesn't add up...

An odd puncture wound
on mallory's forehead.

♪♪

It's very unlikely
that a wound like that

was caused by a rock or a fall.

Narrator:
So what caused this wound?

Rose: The wound looks like
it could have been caused

by the head of an ice ax.

So, if a climber's falling,

they could use their ice ax
to slow the descent.

But if they hit a rock,
it would deflect back

and then, whack,
hit him right in the head.

Mallory's ice ax
was never found,

but his climbing partner's was.

Irvine's ice ax
was found farther up

than mallory's body...

♪♪

...Implying the two men
could have been even higher

♪♪

When he fell,
was he on his way up

or on his way back down?

Narrator: If researchers
can answer this question,

it could settle a controversy

that has dominated the climbing
world for almost a century.

In 1953, 29 years after
george mallory went missing,

another pair of climbers
were officially credited

with being the first
to summit everest...

Sir edmund hillary,
and his sherpa, tenzing norgay.

♪♪

Could it be that mallory
made it to the top

almost three decades
before hillary?

Bellinger: We might have to
rewrite the history books

on who conquered everest first.

Narrator: Expedition members
are searching for evidence

that may prove george mallory
was the first person

to summit everest
and not sir edmund hillary.

♪♪

The team turns to mallory's
family members

for more information,

and they immediately
reveal another clue.

Billson:
According to mallory's daughter,

her father always carried
a picture of his wife,

which he intended to leave
at the top of everest

after he'd reached the summit.

Rose: The body was
in pristine condition.

He even had his wallet
with a letter and a receipt

from a climbing outfitter,
but no photo.

♪♪

Bellinger: Where's the photo?

Was george mallory
true to his word?

Did he leave the photo of
his wife at the top of everest?

♪♪

Narrator: They don't find the
photo, but during the search,

someone notices
something very odd.

Mallory wasn't
wearing his goggles,

and they weren't
around his neck.

Narrator: No climber would ever
attempt to summit mount everest

without goggles,

even back in 1924.

Sun glaring off the snow and ice
can cause snow blindness,

which can be lethal
at this altitude.

Just days before mallory
made his ascent,

another climber was blinded

because he wasn't
wearing goggles.

There is no way that mallory
would have been ascending

without wearing his goggles.

♪♪

Narrator:
After a thorough search,

the team eventually
find his goggles

buried deep
in one of his pockets.

Why wasn't he wearing them?

♪♪

Rose: The most convincing reason
is if it was after dark

and he was already on his way
back down the mountain.

Bellinger:
But if he was coming down,

then coming down from where?

Did mallory make it
all the way to the top,

or did he turn back just a few
hundred feet before his goal?

Narrator: Mallory left on his
expedition with a camera in his kit.

If the camera can be located,

it could provide evidence
to settle the question

of whether he made it to the top
once and for all.

You wouldn't carry a camera
all that way

and not take a photo
on top of the mountain.

Billson: With the temperature
up there always below zero,

there's a really strong chance
to film inside the camera

would be preserved, as well.

Rose: If we could only develop
that last roll of film,

maybe we could see
if mallory reached the top.

Photographic evidence
would be definitive proof.

But where is that camera?

♪♪

Bellinger:
His body was undisturbed.

He had his wallet.
He had his altimeter.

He had his goggles.

The camera must be out there.

We just haven't found it.

Narrator: Without it,
there's no way to know for sure

if mallory made it to the top.

♪♪

Wolf: If mallory didn't
make it to the top,

he was at least
close enough to see it.

Either way, it's an astounding
accomplishment.

on the planet

lies a camera
that could contain a photograph

that could rewrite history.

gaping holes in the roof,

but there are some doors
that are left cracked open

and some windows
that have broken.

Any gap in the building
over 30 years

will let the snow right in.

Also, there are
no shell casings anywhere.

These men would have been well
trained military personnel,

by something less calculated
but just as deadly.

Wolf: So if it wasn't
a manmade disaster,

then maybe a natural disaster
hit the base.

Somara: This station
was built to withstand

the extreme weather
of greenland.

It's a steel structure,

and it's still standing
after decades abandoned.

Narrator: The answer
may lie in the design

of the building itself.

Engineers built the station
on eight steel beams

for a very specific reason.

In this part of
the greenland ice sheet,

snow builds up
year after year after year.

And anything you leave
on the surface

is going to get
buried over time.

So to keep this
above the surface,

they kept having to jack it up
on these enormous stilts

time and time again.

♪♪

Narrator: Between 1959 and 1983,

engineers raised the station


♪♪

But each time they jacked it up,

they made it
slightly less stable.

Macferrin: So these enormous "I"
beams that the building sits upon

are sunk into the snow.
And snow settles over the time,

and it doesn't
necessarily settle evenly.

♪♪

Narrator:
But the "I" beams alone

weren't responsible
for the abandonment of the base.

It was the combination
of a second design flaw

that sealed
the dew line station's fate.

Macferrin: So, when
they designed the building,

they put this enormous
snow melting furnace

in a corner of it
in order to melt snow

for drinking water
and showers for all the men.

♪♪

What they didn't anticipate
is that the heat from this

would dissipate
into the "I" beams

and cause that corner
of the building

to settle faster
than the others over time.

♪♪

Somara: The weight
and the heat of the building

have pushed the foundation
to the edge of failure.

It could collapse at any moment.

The station had
become a deathtrap.

Billson: The building was not
under attack from a military force,

but from the very ice
it was built on.

engineers realized this,

they ordered
an immediate evacuation.

The virus needs a host cell,

so they gave it
its favorite meal, an amoeba,

a single-celled organism.

They put them both
in the dish, and they waited.

Macferrin:
One of the biggest challenges

of bringing something
like this back to life

is how old it is.
It breaks down over time,

and it might not even
be possible

if the dna
is completely broken down.

Narrator: To everyone's
surprise, the experiment worked.

The mollivirus invaded the
amoeba and replicated itself.

After 30,000 years,
the giant virus was reborn.

Viruses have been known
to survive

in some pretty tough conditions.

But that's a pretty
amazing feat.

Narrator: Scientists are now
forced to consider an ominous idea.

Does this mean
that viruses in the wild

could come back to life
by themselves?

Irving: The virus that was
reawakened was grown in a laboratory,

an ideal environment.

We can't say it would be able
to do the same in the wild,

but if the environmental
conditions were right,

it's a possibility.

The biomass of all viruses
and bacteria frozen in the ice

is 1,000 times
that of all the humans on earth.

Most of these viruses
and bacteria

aren't going to harm us,
but some could.

What if one of these pathogens
thaws out of the permafrost

and is washed into a river

and then ultimately
down into the ocean?

Narrator: Scientists continue to
keep a watchful eye on the ice,

mindful that the world's
thawing ice

could allow ancient microbial
genes to mix with modern ones...

...Flooding the oceans

with never-before-seen
types of organisms.

How would it interact
with the food chain?

What would be the impact
on the environment

and ultimately on us?

We don't know the answers
to these questions.

Hopefully, we'll never
have to find out.
