Indian authorities are seeking to recover the body of climber Dorje Morup, known as 'Green Boots,' from Mount Everest's northern route in Tibet. The Indo-Tibetan Border Police aims to hire specialists for the retrieval, but the operation requires Chinese approval and favorable conditions. Morup's remains, a landmark for climbers, lie in the death zone above 8,000 meters where recovery is dangerous and rare.
