In 1996 members of three commercial expeditions were stranded high on the mountain during a blizzard, and several climbers lost their lives on the mountain, including veteran climbers [[Scott Fischer]] and [[Rob Hall]] who owned the commercial expedition companies. One survivor, [[Jon Krakauer]] wrote a book about the tragedy, called ''[[Into Thin Air]]''.
