A foot believed to belong to a British climber who went missing 100 years ago has been found on Mount Everest, in a discovery that may solve one of mountaineering’s biggest mysteries.
Andrew Comyn “Sandy” Irvine had attempted to climb Everest in June 1924 with his partner George Mallory when the pair vanished. While his partner’s remains were eventually retrieved, Irvine’s body was never discovered.
But last month a team of climbers filming a National Geographic documentary stumbled on the foot, revealed by melting ice on a glacier.

But the filmmaking team is fairly confident it belongs to Irvine, due to the sock found inside the boot being embroidered with the words "A.C. Irvine".
“I mean, dude… there’s a label on it,” Chin was quoted as saying.
I mean they took the foot off the boot
I’m pretty sure that when you find a 100 year old foot on a mountain, and you’re a national geographic documentarian, you probably have to investigate it.
You put your feet on your boots? Weird, I put my boots on my feet. 🤔😂
Yes but if you think if there’s only a foot and not the rest, you’re actually taking the foot off the boot, like a parcel
Oh I know, I was just being a pedantic shit, mostly because linguistically we always say we put clothing on even if we’re on the clothing.
