Records Made at 8,848 Meters
Sixteen research teams with 270 scientists achieved unprecedented milestones: deploying a weather balloon to 9,000+ meters altitude, collecting summit ice samples, establishing Earth’s highest weather station, and securing extreme-altitude ice cores critical for climate studies. Two professional alpine cameramen joined the mission, capturing summit footage that offers viewers a mountaineer’s perspective.
Behind the Scenes of Discovery
The documentary reveals both technological triumphs and human drama, showcasing how scientists braved sub-zero temperatures and thin air to conduct research that could reshape our understanding of climate change. With 4K cinematography transporting audiences to the “Roof of the World,” the film highlights perseverance through challenges like securing ice cores at -30°C and operating delicate instruments in hurricane-force winds.
