Hardback. Condition: New. 'This is a book to be awed by.' - Daily MailIn 1924, the British Mount Everest Expedition led by George Mallory set out to reach the summit of the world's highest peak. In 2024, documentaries and exhibitions - some sponsored, like the original climb, by the Royal Geographical Society - will commemorate the 100th anniversary of this famous adventure. Everest 24, published with the RGS, presents a newly curated portfolio of images from the expedition and those that preceded it. These include John B.
