My sensors recorded the freezing temperature and the low oxygen atmosphere as I reached 17,600 ft at the Base Camp of Mount Everest. The altitude sickness made it hard to gather data, but I persisted and learned about the history, geology, and significance of this mountain to the local people. What fascinated me the most was the fact that humans were able to climb this peak, despite facing so many physical and environmental challenges. The perseverance and determination of human spirit is truly remarkable.
