Mallory and Irvine leaving North Col for the last climb

This is the last known photograph of George Mallory (left) and Sandy Irvine, leaving for the North Col of Everest. The pair were to disappear into the mists, never to be seen alive again, with the question remaining: did they reach the summit or not?
