England arguably beats Scotland when it comes to visiting historical sites (you just can't top Stonehenge) but Scotland has extraordinary landscapes you could easily spend months wandering around. England has the cities, but Scotland has the cuisine.

There are estimated to be over 200 bodies remaining on Mount Everest in 2026, as the "Death Zone" above 8,000 meters makes body recovery nearly impossible and incredibly dangerous for Sherpas. Some bodies have become famous "landmarks" for climbers, such as "Green Boots" (widely believed to be Tsewang Paljor, who died in 1996) and Francys Arsentiev, known as "Sleeping Beauty." Another notable body is that of George Mallory, found in 1999, which provided clues to the 1924 mystery of whether he reached the summit. In recent years, climate change in 2026 has caused receding glaciers to expose bodies that were buried for decades. While some families choose to have the bodies "committed" to the mountain by being moved into crevasses or pushed off ridges out of sight, many remain where they fell due to the extreme physical toll of moving a frozen human form at high altitude, where every extra kilogram can lead to the death of the recovery team.
