Apologies if you've been inundated by streaming Everest videos,
podcasts and information over the past few weeks, but here's a quick
heads up that the BBC has been on Everest filming with the
Xtreme Everest medical expedition.
The BBC team from science programme Horizon has been following
the British medical expedition which, in addition to putting a lot of
doctors and Sherpas on top of the highest point on earth, also
conducted extensive medical experiments on the mountain.
On top of that, the expedition was heavily involved in the rescue
of a woman Sherpa high on the mountain helping to save her life in
the process.
The documentary will air in autumn 2007, but for now there are a
few video clips on the BBC web site along with a blog from the
Horizon guys.

as well as the Xtreme Everest expedition's own site at www.xtreme-everest.co.uk.
