Sherpas and scientists faced extreme weather and record crowds as they struggled to install a crucial network of weather sensors.
etc. Unfortunately though, I had to turn back from Camp 1 due to HAPE which was somewhat surprising to me as I have previously never had any problems at this altitude. However, this gave me the opportunity to try out downhill muleback-riding which gave me another good adrenaline kick (...

Although it is reasonable to assume that such a long-lasting HE radiation is connected with afterglow emission (e.g., produced as a result of the jet expansion into the external medium), a contribution from internal dissipation at early times cannot be excluded and is even necessary in some ...
Others had altitude sickness, but after flying to Nepal and paying thousands of dollars, they felt had to reach the top. Hypoxia, the deprivation of oxygen, made their own decision-making an obstacle. Klorfine eventually reached the summit, but her journey home would end in the death zone...
It showed that the air pathway originated around southeastern New York and Connecticut and circled over CT and MA in slow upward motion moving from 400 m to 1500 m altitude, indicating that the air masses spent ~2 days below 1500 m. Thus, once the southwesterly flow passed over these ...
