Rescuers recover body of climber from Mount Everest
A helicopter has retrieved the body of a Dutch climber who died last week on Mount Everest and attempts are being made to recover the bodies of two other climbers.
The body of Eric Arnold, from Rotterdam, was flown from Everest directly to a hospital in Kathmandu to be put in the morgue.
He died last Friday near South Col after showing signs of altitude sickness.
Attempts are being made to retrieve the bodies of an Australian and an Indian climber but it is unclear when they will be taken to Kathmandu.
Five climbers have died and two are missing on Everest, while nearly 400 have scaled the 29,035ft peak this month.
This year's busy climbing season follows two years of disasters that virtually emptied the mountain.
