New drones by DJI being used on Mount Everest. Waste is a huge problem on the mountain.

I plan to climb it one day so I thought this was pretty cool. With such technology I can see as much as 90% of the waste being cleared off the mountain within 5-6 years. We'll see though. 

A very positive side to technological advancement.

 Sadly, there are many human corpses of mountaineers who had died during their expedition to the summit and which have been lying there for decades. 

I am hoping that drone technology can help bring down these human corpses from the mountain and hand them over to their respective families for burial.

Yeah for the recent ones maybe. At some point you just have to leave them there, who wants a decades old corpse.
