George Herbert Leigh Mallory, a renowned British mountaineer, explorer, and academic, was born on June 18, 1886, in the picturesque village of Mobberley, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom. Throughout his life, he was blessed with a loving and supportive partner, Ruth Thackeray Turner, to whom he was married.
Mallory's remarkable journey came to an abrupt end on June 8, 1924, when he tragically perished on North Col, a treacherous and unforgiving region on the slopes of the majestic Mount Everest, located in the autonomous region of Tibet, China.
