100 years ago, Andrew Comyn "Sandy" Irvine vanished when attempting to climb Everest with George Mallory, whose body was found in 1999. Last month, a team of climbers filming a documentary for @NationalGeographic found a preserved boot and foot, with a sock labeled "A.C. Irvine." Now, the search is on for the rest of Irvine's body — and the camera and undeveloped film he is said to have been carrying. "It could potentially help solve one of mountaineering's biggest mysteries: whether or not the pair succeeded in becoming the first people to summit Everest, 29 years before Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reached the top," write @BBCNews's Tessa Wong and Flora Drury.
