   Somewhat along these lines, I read the book, "Into Thin Air," by Jon
Krakauer about an ill fated Mt. Everest expedition. At one point the author
describes how the bodies of climbers who had succumbed to the elements in
past expedition are just left on the mountain since any recovery would be
too difficult. Sometimes the body's surface in the ice and the current
climbers just step over them, more or less. Sounds good to me :-))
