Mount Everest
Once a forbidding place scaled only by the most daring explorers, Mount Everest today is littered with trash from invading visitors. Straddling the border between Nepal and Tibet, the area is a place of great spiritual and cultural value. Today, garbage on the mountain includes climbing equipment, food, plastics, tins, aluminum cans, glass, clothes, papers, tents and even the remains of failed adventurers.

Im in complete agreement with all of this except for calling the remains of failed adventurers 'garbage on the mountain.' Not that they should have been there but its just a tad disrespectful to the families of the deceased.
