India Plans Mission to Recover Soldier Dorje Morup's Body from Everest After 30 Years
Nearly 30 years after Indian soldier Dorje Morup died during a 1996 Everest expedition, authorities plan a high-risk mission to recover his body, known as "Green Boots," from near the summit. Morup, part of an Indo-Tibetan Border Police team, died during a blizzard on the descent after reaching the summit via the northern route. The recovery aims to provide closure to his family, as his remains have served as a landmark for climbers on Everest's Northeast Ridge.
