Description

Andrew Comyn "Sandy" Irvine was a British mountaineer who took part in the 1924 British Mount Everest expedition, the third British expedition to the world's highest mountain. He and his climbing partner George Mallory disappeared somewhere high on the mountain's Northeast Ridge, and were reportedly last seen alive at an indeterminate distance from the summit. Mallory's body was found in 1999, and Irvine's partial remains were discovered in 2024.
