An Indian couple falsified photographs of themselves at the top of Mount Everest to get their feat certified by Kathmandu, Nepal said on Wednesday, after earlier saying the climb was valid.
Phukon's sherpa guide later told him the woman was 34-year old Australian Maria Strydom, who died last Saturday on the high slopes of Everest after making a failed push for the summit.

Summer climbers to Mt. Fuji during July 1 to Aug. 31 this year declined 2.5 percent from a year earlier to 310,721, due to tighter restrictions on car use, local media reported Wednesday.
Japanese local authorities on Thursday started collecting a 1,000-yen admission fee from those climbers to the Mount Fuji in an effort to fund for preserving the environment at the Japanese icon, reported local media.
