Whymper next organised an expedition to Ecuador, designed primarily to collect data for the study of altitude sickness and the effect of reduced pressure on the human body. His chief guide was Jean-Antoine Carrel , who later died from exhaustion on the Matterhorn after bringing his employers to safety through a snowstorm.
The following is a list of people executed by the U.S. state of Alabama since capital punishment was resumed in the United States in 1976.

Ecuador is divided into four geographic regions; the Andes, the Amazon Basin, the Coast, and the Galapagos Islands. Harsh climates in each region pose several threats to human health. [19] Due to the lack of oxygen in the Andes because of high altitude, altitude sickness may arise, primarily in tourists coming from low-altitude regions. [20]
The execution is the US’ 22nd this year and sixth in Alabama. Grayson’s death was the third time a death row inmate was executed with nitrogen gas, a controversial method where the gas ...
The execution was eventually called off after prison employees were unable to set an IV line into Smith’s veins, making it the third failed lethal injection attempt in Alabama in 2022. Death row ...
Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude while the O 2 fraction remains constant to about 85 km (53 mi), so PO 2 decreases with altitude as well. It is about half of its sea level value at 5,500 m (18,000 ft), the altitude of the Mount Everest base camp , and less than a third at 8,849 m (29,032 ft), the summit of Mount Everest. [ 8 ]
Alabama has scheduled the execution date for the first inmate in the nation who will be executed by nitrogen hypoxia, an alternative to lethal injection, the governor said.
