Expedition Accidents

At some point I discovered the Himalayan Database and decided to create a few “whimsical” visualizations based on this dataset. In two previous articles I created a simple elevation plot for Everest expeditions and a plot showing the relative number of deaths for 5 Himalayan peaks. This time I wanted to explore expedition accident reports. If you’re interested in learning how I made this plot, I wrote an article on medium that goes through every step (from data exploration to polishing the final plot).
