ADVERSITY AND COURAGE
Watch the video to know about Antarctic Challenge.
In 1996, author and mountain climber Jon Krakauer attempted to climb Mount Qomolangma. While he was successful in his climb, the mountain was hit by bad weather that day, and eight other climbers --- some of his good friends --- were killed. Less than a year later, Krakauer and five other men attempted to climb Mount Rakekniven in Antarctica.

Mount Rakekniven is special because it had never been climbed before.
Jon Krakauer’s main job is to put the flag on the top of the mountain.

The climb is also especially difficult because of the changing and extreme weather conditions, and also the rocks which are sharp and also fall easily.
The climb takes ten days in total.
Discuss these questions in groups.
1. Why do you think Krakauer wanted to climb another mountain again so soon after climbing Mount Qomolangma
I think Krakauer wanted to climb another mountain so soon because he had lost friends on the previous climb and wanted to succeed for them.
2. The video says that the challenge of the climb was “not only physical, but personal” for Krakauer. What do you think this means
I think this means he had to overcome the physical challenges of climbing in those conditions, but also the personal emotions of climbing so soon after losing friends while climbing.
3. How might a difficult challenge help a person overcome sadness or other bad feelings
A person facing sadness or bad feelings may feel depressed with no desire to do anything but overcoming a difficult challenge could prove their self-worth and show them life goes on and is still worth living.
