Ji Hyeon-ok was a South Korean mountaineer, born in Nonsan on 20 January 1961, who climbed several of the tallest mountains in the world. She climbed Denali in 1988 and Mount Everest in 1993, becoming the first Korean woman to do so, and added Gasherbrum I in 1997 and Gasherbrum II in 1998. On 29 April 1999 she went missing while climbing Annapurna, having stood on the summit but failed to return to base camp. Google marked what would have been her fifty-sixth birthday with a Doodle on 20 January 2015.
