On February 20, 1963, a team of nineteen Americans embarked on
the first expedition that would combine high-altitude climbing with
scientific research. The primary objective of the six scientists on the
team—who procured funding by appealing to the military and political
applications of their work—was to study how severe stress at high
altitudes affected human behavior. The expedition would land the first
American on the summit of Mount Everest nearly three years after a
successful (though widely disputed) Chinese ascent. At the height of the
Cold War, this struggle for the Himalaya turned Everest into both a
contested political space and a remote, unpredictable laboratory. The US
expedition promised to resurrect American heroism, embodied in a show
of physical strength and skill that, when combined with scientific
expertise, would dominate international rivals on the frontiers of
territorial exploration. It propelled mountaineers, scientists, and
their test subjects 29,029 feet above sea level, the highest point of
Chinese-occupied Tibet. There they faced hostile conditions that
challenged and ultimately compromised standard research protocols,
yielding results that were too exceptional to be generalized to other
environments. With this book, Philip W. Clements offers a nuanced
exploration of the impact of extremity on the production of scientific
knowledge and the role of masculinity and nationalism in scientific
inquiry.
