The definitive story of the British adventurers who survived the trenches of World War I and went on to risk their lives climbing Mount Everest. On June 6, 1924, two men set out from a camp perched at 23,000 feet on an ice ledge just below the lip of Everest’s North Col. George Mallory, thirty-seven, was Britain’s finest climber. Sandy Irvine was a twenty-two-year-old Oxford scholar with little previous mountaineering experience. Neither of them returned. Drawing on more than a decade of prodigious research, bestselling author and explorer Wade Davis vividly re-creates the heroic efforts of Mallory and his fellow climbers, setting their significant achievements in sweeping historical context: from Britain’s nineteen-century imperial ambitions to the war that shaped Mallory’s generation. Theirs was a country broken, and the Everest expeditions emerged as a powerful symbol of national redemption and hope. In Davis’s rich exploration, he creates a timeless portrait of these remarkable men and their extraordinary times.

The purposes of this investigation were to: define the hydraulic character and subsurface distribution of the major aquifers and aquitards; identify and describe the principal areas of recharge to and discharge from the major aquifers; and determine the rate and the direction of ground-water movement within the major aquifers and aquitards. Of these objectives, the third was of prime importance for an evaluation of the rate of movement of various radionuclides from the vicinity of an underground nuclear detonation. The accuracy of the velocity estimates, however, rested heavily upon the other two study objectives. The Nevada Test Site occupies a small part of two ground-water basins - the Ash Meadows and the Oasis Valley-Fortymile Canyon basins. Consequently, the objectives are discussed for a region several times the size of the test site.
