As The Atlantic reported, the Paris Syndrome describes the physical and psychological reactions to learning that Paris is more of a bustling, harsh metropolis than its romantic image had led travelers to believe.
And considering how many bucket lists Mount Everest appears on, it seems like pure chance that the phenomenon came to be known as Paris Syndrome and not Everest Syndrome.
Not only is Mount Everest as perilous to climb as ever, but those with a mental image of its pristine natural beauty may be shocked to hear that they're likely to see a large amount of litter and may even encounter a dead body on their way up.
And if the recent climate trend gripping the Himalayas continues, the likelihood of such a unnerving sight will rise even higher.
