I don't think anyone's mentioned this yet, but they're still looking for a Kodak Vest Pocket camera carried by Mallory's doomed Everest expedition. Kind of interesting digital imaging stuff on how they believe they've possibly located the body of the guy they hope has the camera on him, and also a link to instructions for handling the camera and developing the film if they find it.
