• Resumen

  • Douglas talks about how climbers and people who live at altitude cope with limited oxygen. A team from the Center for Altitude, Space and Extreme Environment Medicine at University College London recently spent several weeks on Everest studying hundreds of trekkers, climbers and Sherpas. The findings from their work and that of others is radically changing the understanding of how the body adapt to altitude, particularly the low oxygen levels experienced there.
