This is the last photo ever taken of Marco Siffredi — just before he attempted to snowboard down Mount Everest.
On September 8, 2002, the French daredevil reached the 29,000-foot summit of Earth's highest point. Though critically exhausted from the climb and the high altitude, Siffredi stood with his board perched over the precipice and decided to forge ahead with his plan.
