      The climbers spent years planning and saving, but the altitude is called the "death zone" for good reason. In 2016, 2 men died near the top of Mount Everest. Their bodies lay frozen there for a year. Then a journey began to bring them home.http://nyti.ms/2oFIIha

      There was a poster of Mount Everest in the bedroom that Goutam Ghosh shared with his wife Chandana. It hung there for 20 years. https://nyti.ms/2oFKQpe pic.twitter.com/JQ4Zrbsdxm

      The thought of Goutam somewhere up there — alone and frozen, or maybe wandering around the Himalayas lost and crying into the wind for help — haunted his family hundreds of miles away in Kolkata. http://nyti.ms/2oFKQpe pic.twitter.com/LWlydhgNwt

          Chandana left their calendar turned to May 2016. That was when time stopped. That’s what happens when the body is left on the mountain. Death feels like hearsay. http://nyti.ms/2oFKQpe pic.twitter.com/ppnB2ReJH1

          There were 3 major reasons the Ghosh family desperately wanted his body returned. The first reason was emotional. The idea that he lay near the summit of Everest, alone, was nearly too much to bear. http://nyti.ms/2oFKQpe pic.twitter.com/3B8hsBX8w5

          The second reason was religious. Hindus believe that the body is a temporary vessel for the soul. Once the soul is severed from the body through cremation, it is reincarnated in another body. http://nyti.ms/2oFKQpe pic.twitter.com/zHd9EpWhpr

          The third reason was financial. Legally, in India, Goutam was considered a missing person. Only when a body was produced, or 7 years had passed, would the government issue a death certificate. http://nyti.ms/2oFKQpe pic.twitter.com/kQokbdssUe
