Rescue crews launched a search for two South Korean climbers missing on Mt. Everest and a third known to have died, an official said.
The trio -- members of a seven-member team from South Korea’s Keymyung University -- went missing Wednesday, university spokesman Chung Jung Yong said. One of them was found dead Thursday near the summit of the 29,000-foot mountain, and rescuers were trying to recover the body, Chung said. The two missing climbers were believed to be somewhere near their dead colleague.
