أول إنسان يتزلج من قمة إيفرست دون أكسجين

In a first-of-its-kind achievement, adventurous Polish skier Andrzej Bargiel (37 years old) successfully climbed to the summit of Mount Everest (the highest in the world) and skied down from it without using any additional oxygen supply, a feat that no one has accomplished in the history of mountaineering.

The Dangerous Journey

Bargiel began his adventure from base camp, and his ascent took four days, followed by a two-day skiing descent, in harsh weather conditions at an altitude exceeding 8,848 meters, where the oxygen level drops to one-third of the amount available at sea level.

Without Artificial Oxygen

Despite the difficulty of breathing at this altitude, Bargiel refused to use any oxygen support systems. He stated in an email to The New York Times: “I have never used artificial oxygen in the mountains.”

Amazing Footage

Videos captured from the summit showed Bargiel gasping for breath before launching himself on his skis, gliding smoothly over the white snow, as if he were skiing on the slopes of a winter resort, not on the most dangerous mountain in the world.

A Rare Number

It is noted that more than 7,000 people have reached the summit of Everest, but only about 200 climbers have managed to do so without artificial oxygen. None of them have skied down from the summit afterward.
