"Green Boots" is the nickname given to a male found in 1996 at Mount Everest. His body remains at the location he was found in.
His identity is speculated to be Tsewang Paljor or Dorje Morup; both subjects died in 1996. He is commonly identified in the media as Palijor, although no official identification has been made.
This body, and many others on Mount Everest cannot be retrieved because over time the bodies freeze into the mountainside, making them impossible to retrieve.
In May of 1996, the first ever video footage of Green Boots was filmed in "Summit Fever" a documentary made by British film-maker and climber Matt Dickinson.
