纪录片：珠穆朗玛：征服死亡地带

8848米的珠穆朗玛峰是无数登山爱好者心中的梦想。本片记述1953年埃德蒙·希拉里和丹增·诺尔盖的首次登顶，以及现代攀登珠峰面临的生理和心理挑战。 The stories of mountaineers who have reached the summit of the world's tallest mountain, including a look at the dangers of the low oxygen levels at high altitudes. The programme examines the factors that allowed Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's 1953 expedition to succeed where so many had failed, and reveals how the Sherpas, who work as porters and guides for expeditions, have a physiology uniquely adapted to surviving at high altitudes.
