Please say something about it?
In 1924,Mallory and team of British climbers
tried to get to the top of Mount Qomolangma,
the tallest mountain in the world.
No one had ever done it before.
Mallory had already tried to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma in 1922and 1922,
but he had failed both times.
In 1924,he tried again.
On June8,1924,he and another climber,Andrew Irvine,
were only a few hundred metres from the top of the mountain.
However,the weather was very misty,
and soon the two men disappeared into the mist.
They could never return.
In1953,Edmund Hillary from New Zealand,
and Tenzing Norgay from Nepal,finally reached the top of Mount Qomolangma.
Most people thought that they were the first men to do this,
but some people wondered whether Mallory and Irvine had got there first.
Many years later,in 1999,Mallory's body was found on Mount Qomolangma,
about six hundred metres from the top of it.
However,it is still not known whether he
and Irvine ever reached the top of the mountain.
Someone had once asked Mallory
why he wanted to climb the most dangerous mountain in world
