I would assume that makes it even worse at high elevations. There's more oxygen down low on the ground because the air molecules are closer together, but not high up because some of the oxygen that would normally be up there is compacted down. I don't know that for sure, but it seems like a safe assumption. If there's more air in one place, that means there's less air somewhere else.

this is correct because the atmosphere literally stops six feet above the peak of everest and during winter actually dips below it. anyone who summits between november 7 and february 19 is technically an astronaut

e: added 2016/17 dates from the old sherpas almanac

Thirding. Really interesting stuff. Sucks that we're one of the few species that can't make Vitamin C; I wonder if the other animals make fun of us for that. :(

Dude they won't even talk to us and you wonder?
