Abstract:
Alexander M. Kellas (1868–1921) was a British physiologist who made pioneering contributions to the exploration of Everest and to the early physiology of extreme altitudes, but his physiological contributions have been almost completely overlooked. Although he had a full-time faculty position at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School in London, he was able to make eight expeditions to the Himalayas in the first two decades of the century, and by 1919 when the first official expedition to Everest was being planned, he probably knew more about the approaches than anybody else. But his most interesting contributions were made in an unpublished manuscript written in 1920 and entitled “A consideration of the possibility of ascending Mount Everest.” In this he discussed the physiology of acclimatization and most of the important variables including the summit altitude and barometric pressure, and the alveolar PO2, arterial oxygen saturation, maximal oxygen consumption, and maximal ascent rate near the summit. On the basis of this extensive analysis, he concluded that “Mount Everest could be ascended by a man of excellent physical and mental constitution in first-rate training, without adventitious aids [supplementary oxygen] if the physical difficulties of the mountain are not too great.” Kellas was one of the first physiologists to study extreme altitude, and he deserves to be better known.

Abstract:
AbstractThe twentieth century was bracketed by two high-profile events on Mount Everest: the 1924 Mallory and Irvine disappearance and the 1996 Into Thin Air storm. During both events, fatalities occurred high on the mountain during deteriorating weather conditions. Although there have been dramatic improvements in knowledge of the mountain and in the technology used on it, it is shown that an unappreciated change that has also occurred, as a result of warming in the region, is an increase in barometric pressure. A rare and unique set of meteorological data collected at various elevations on the mountain during the 1924 British Everest expedition as well as modern datasets are used to compare and contrast conditions during the two storms and the two climbing seasons. It is shown that both storms were associated with weather systems known locally as western disturbances that resulted in summit barometric pressure drops sufficient to have exacerbated altitude-induced hypoxia. It is further shown that the Mallory and Irvine attempt occurred later in the season than typically is the case now and that this was most likely the result of a concurrent El Niño event. Despite the trend of increasing barometric pressure, the pressure drop associated with storms in the region should remain a concern for those who venture to extreme altitudes. The authors therefore argue that success and failure on Everest and other Himalayan peaks requires knowledge of the variability and trends in both the weather and climate.

Abstract:
In 1922 Dr Arthur Wakefield, a general practitioner from Cumbria, reached the North Col of Mt Everest at 23,000 feet as a member of the first British team to attempt the summit. As well as being a climber, he provided medical care to his comrades, who included George Leigh Mallory and George Finch. Yet, in their accounts of the expedition, several climbers portrayed him as a nervous old man and a “complete passenger”. However, his letters home and a small daily diary suggest he was a wise and caring physician. His motivation for joining this expedition at the age of 46 was somewhat different from that of his companions.

Abstract:
Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay were first in 1953. Since then, over 2,500 people have followed in their footsteps and on 21 May 2006, Andrew Sutherland became the first British surgeon to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Travelling as the team doctor, Mr Sutherland was part of the EVERESTMAX expedition who recently completed the highest climb on earth, commencing at the Dead Sea in Jordan and ending at the summit of Mount Everest. Mr Sutherland joined the expedition at Everest base camp as the team prepared for their ascent of the challenging north-east ridge.

Abstract:
There are few places in the world where a geologist can actually take a look at the rocks and structures 5 or 6 kilometres down beneath the Earth’s surface. The opposing forces of nature—the uplift of rocks towards the Earth’s surface and their erosion and removal—usually balance each other out, at least roughly. It is only where the rate of uplift of rocks greatly exceeds erosion that high mountains are built. This is precisely why the Himalaya are so unique to geologists studying mountain-building processes. The Himalaya is an active mountain range: the plate convergence rates are high, uplift rates are extremely high, and glacial and fluvial erosion has carved deep channels in between the mountains. By walking and climbing all around Everest we can actually map and study the rocks in three dimensions, which elsewhere, beneath the Tibetan Plateau for example, remain buried below the Earth’s surface. After the Survey of India discovered that Mount Everest was the highest mountain in the world, a pioneering expedition set out to fly across the summit and take photographs. On 3 April 1933 a Houston-Weston biplane piloted by Lord Clydesdale flew across the summit and took the first photos of the mountain. Clydesdale wrote: ‘We were in a serious position. The great bulk of Everest was towering above us to the left, Makalu down-wind to the right and the connecting range dead ahead, with a hurricane wind doing its best to carry us over and dash us on the knife-edge side of Makalu.’ The earliest geologists to study the structure of Mount Everest, A. M. Heron and Noel Odell, both noted the apparent conformity of strata with sedimentary rocks on top of the mountain lying above the more metamorphosed rocks around the base In his 1965 paper on the structure of Everest, Lawrence Wager wrote: ‘It never ceases to surprise the writer that the highest point of the Earth’s surface is composed of sedimentary rocks which are relatively flat-lying and but little metamorphosed.’
