Watched Everest on Discovery, there was a man found in the death zone (that's past a certain point on the mountain, as you get closer to the summit).

Anyway, apparently another expedition lost a man, when another found him. He was left dying under a rock. The men wanted to help, but way up at that altittude it's like being out in space. Not enough strength and too dangerous an area to manuever even yourself. People fall off all the time and have limited time on their oxygen tanks. They had to leave him.

He was there all day and part of the night till he died. What would you do or how would you feel, since there really was nothing that could be done? I felt horrible and cried just watching that.

Seems the Aussies have the worst of everything...spiders, snakes, ants...yada. Why? It has to be something to do with the animals diet. Could it be the plants there? The way venom and poison work are usually through the animals diet. There is no doubt, Australia is one seriously mysterious place.
