Everest 1951: the footprints attributed to the Yeti--myth and reality.
For centuries, mountains have given rise to legends about supernatural beings such as the Yeti of the Himalayas. The legend of the Yeti was enhanced by the finding of footprints in the Menlung Basin during the 1951 Everest reconnaissance expedition. This report provides a possible explanation of the Menlung footprints based on developmental abnormalities, physiology, and pathology of the foot.
