Did Edmund Hillary look for Yeti?
Did Edmund Hillary look for Yeti? In 1960–61 Hillary led another expedition to Nepal to do climbing and altitude research and look (unsuccessfully) for the mythical yeti – sometimes called the Abominable Snowman.
Is the Yeti a myth or fact?
There no real evidence that it exists, but there have been reports of footprints in the snow which could have been made by a yeti. The yeti has been described as having white shaggy fur and a lean muscular body like an ape. This creature could also live in the Asian mountains near the Himalayan snow line.
Did Edmund Hillary find the Yeti?
Hillary's search for the fabled Yeti or abominable snowman found no evidence, and footprints and tracks were proven to be from other causes. Hillary travelled to remote temples which contained Yeti scalps; however after bringing back three relics, two were shown to be from bears and one from a goat antelope.
