btw, from top to bottom, mnt Kilimandjaro, is the, highest, mountain, in the world, you knew that?
is your clock broken? im so used to looking at it and doing the time from it just because i love your clock
@@jessevanes1Moana Loa is
dude took the wife :P U go girl
I've also heard that the weight of an object at sea level lets say 5lb will get (now this bit I can remember correctly) lighter or heavier at various heights.
Seeing those sudden biome shifts is my favorite thing about mountain hikes

Ok
Those are some real high-level zones
You should check out Atlas Pro's "Islands that aren't actually islands" series if you haven't. Mountains are often ecological islands so they can have a lot of really interesting biology!
When the tree lined is super well definied, stepping past it feels like another world.
Pole pole, paparazzi
Haha
Watching the pulse ox was more interesting than the water. I was surprised how early on you were at 90. Also surprised you kept your composure through to the end like this is a thing you do all the time!
I was equally shocked, the 70% would have been scary if it were not for pulse ox being horrible on cold extremities.
@@NibblyBitz Yeah, below a certain PI, the pulse-ox numbers aren't really reliable. Most inexpensive pulse-ox devices don't directly tell you the PI, although some will if you connect via bluetooth and a phone app.
it should always be 99% at the lowest safe point
If I slept at base camp without my CPaP I would die. Get checked out for Apnea before climbing a ladder! LOL
@rjaquaponics9266 Ideally, yes. But if you're not trying to summit a mountain, >95% is fine. Heck, my drs don't even freak if I'm only >90% but I also have central sleep apnea and have to use a ventilator to sleep. Fun times with sleep disorders, huh?
I know it wasn't the focus of the video, but I really appreciate the effort you made to highlight the porters and the locals that were helping you along. The section right around 5:50 with the porters singing in the background was just so fun to watch and experience.
The porters are amazing humans. I wish I could post photos of them here. They carried everything and the toilet seat too and had energy to spare. I was dyyying when I got to Barafu camp
Great experience captured in the video!
Btw, were you combing them beards?
They suffer from low altitude sickness not high altitude sickness.
You should invite them to ground level alabama beaches to study what happens the opposite way.
My mom, who worked in radiology and diagnostic imaging for cancer patients, once told me about how her company was looking into new technology for some process. I couldn't tell you what it was specifically. But it was developed by some third party, and then they sent it over. And her people just couldn't reproduce it. It didn't work.
Turned out that the process relied on boiling water (or, rather, not boiling it) around 100°C, but it was developed on the east coast, and my mom worked in Denver. The difference in boiling point was enough to ruin the process and it had to go back to development.
Perhaps the science in this video isn't flashy. But it's still important.
Reminds me of a report I saw somewhere about electron microscopes that didn't work at a fairly high altitude. The manufacturer had not tested under low pressure conditions.
Bro just causally has friends in space to take pictures of him doing cool things on earth.
Legend status: confirmed.
Definetly a flex worth having
I don't think it was a collaboration, I think it was just happenstance
Dayum
A true Unit!
@@cmac1100 pretty epic happenstance 😁
Small caption correction. At 10:34 someone says "Is your hand cold?" Not "Is your ankle?"
Cold hands can throw off the pulse ox reading as less blood flows through our hands to help conserve body heat in cold weather.
Heh. Yep, you should see what happens when one has Reynauds, and in normal to cool temps, your arterioles clamp down. Very interesting!
Boiling water is like the OPPOSITE of laminar flow. Is Destin ok?!?
Must be the lack of oxygen.
@@smartereveryday😂😊
Haha
Wait until Destin learns about " Laminar flow boiling of water in microchannel".
@@smartereverydaynot enough pressure
Beautiful video!
Did not expect to see Alec Steele here.
I live at 4000' and recently purchased an electric tea kettle. It has a setting where it's supposed to heat the water to 212° F then beep and shut off. It boils but never reaches 212° and doesn't shut off.
oh wow! I've never thought of that! And apparently the person that designed that didn't either!
I live a little over 6,000' and have the same issue, so invested in an electric kettle with different temperature settings. I normally use the 190 setting.
If I remember correctly (and I don't have time to look it up right now), @TechnologyConnections did a video on a relatively cheap & simple, electric kettle design that detects boiling regardless of temperature. Might be worth looking into.
@@riuphane that's strange, usually electric kettles switch off when the liquid starts to boil and not when it reaches a specific temperature, Steve mould has a video on this.
@@AdmiralThumbsYup, remember that video. Ironic that modern kettles are more likely to boil dry
I am surprised by how clean the summit is compared to Everest. Everyone is collecting after themselves.
I haven't climbed Everest, but I assume it's "dirty" cause people want to leave their mark at the highest point in the walkable world. Not a good excuse though. The other reason is probably cause you can die very easily; meaning you can leave an ox cylinder cause you are about to die and got to gtfo.
Garbage. Don't pack out
@@HansMaximum Base camp on Everest is basically a landfill. Its disgusting.
@@HansMaximum It's also dirty because the such steeper slope makes it near impossible to safely collect garbage or even bodies in some area, Kilimanjaro looks like it has gentler inclinations, making it easier to go and collect garbage. There might also be a lot less tourists climbing, Everest has become a conveyor belt, it's so over frequented at this point.
You sounded a little drunk right before you left the summit 😜
Oh yeah, "I Appreciate your Leadership" line felt drunk. Mix of exhilaration, awe, and light hypoxia probably did that.
I bet those forklift drivers sound like this all the time.
They might need a little extra O2
90% oxygen before even getting moving and going higher thats wild
“Rate your summit” 10/10
@@brandonbradford2733 I half expected him to say "I love you" after that
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I was locking in the whole time. The music, Shadrack's charismatic professionalism, the scientific measurements, the interactions with your wife, the pacing, giving credit to those who inspired you, and even the sponsor. Thank your Destin for your work and I wish you the best!
Love this guide. Knows his stuff and knows it well
Shedrack is awesome.
I think you made it clear in the video that you have to listen to and trust the guides and porters that know the mountain, to keep you alive.
This was such an amazing video! Loved the production quality, the raw presence of being there, the audio capturing the calm of the porters and guides. Amazing! So glad I clicked on this video.
I'm proud to be a tanzanian citizen your welcome smart everyday
It's a beautiful country, I used to live in Mwanga (near Moshi).
Your country is beautiful

15000ft has the same effect on your blood oxygen as having COPD - a common smoking related lung condition.
Even in hospital we try and keep people between 88-92% saturation because that’s all the body can handle then, but every step is like carrying a heavy pack and walking to the shops becomes a mountain trek of exertion.
The science is why I started watching your videos. The amazing people you interact with are the reason I keep watching them. Thanks for your fantastic videos!
THANK YOU for including the singing. my god, it's so lovely.
😻😻😻😻😻 5/5
Bearded Destin? I'm here for it.
I originally thought it was a random video pushed to my feed and dismissed it, but watched it later from my notifications.
Bloody Oath! Suits him epically!
Thank you for highlighting the hard work of the porters and guides! All too often they go underappreciated.
As the legendary altitude sickness expert Dr Peter Hackett once said "there are three treatment options for altitude sickness: descent, descent and descent".
Descend a bit, take it easy, wait.
Podcast first then video! Lol so much better! Glad I was able to listen to no dumb questions first when it came out then seen it! Thank you!
I've been waiting for this since listening to the "songs of the ascent" episode on No Dumb Questions. You paint such a great picture during the podcast but I'm glad to see some of it in the video. Keep it up Paparazzi!
I loved the NDQ episode and fully agree
That was something I loved about the podcast, the way he conveyed the emotions of what was going on as he went up the mountain and having Matt there to discuss and ask all the questions that we were all wanting to ask as well was fantastic. I love his nickname paparazzi so much, it is so fitting. Him explaining what was happening to the altitude sickness man was intense but the picture of the tour guide painted such a strong leader in my head. One of his best podcasts I reckon.
Destin's brain was on MS-DOS at those higher elevations. Quite a sight to see. Also!, Great sponsor. I'm going to watch another Smarter Every Day!!!
You can truthfully say: "My science has reached new heights!"
Great to see you "stepping up" your game! :D
Regarding thoughtful media: "News Feed Eradicator" - Install it.
Don't assume you are strong enough to ignore the algorithms. You are not, nor am I. Remove the temptation completely.
"They're asking why paparazzi isn't being paparazzi" that's great.
On day two, they named me paparazzi because of how often I had a camera out.
How did you do the visualization of the GPS track in Google Earth? I tried something like this in Google Earth Studio and export frame images from there, but the track is always flickering, meaning there are some frames, where the track isn't visible. Yours looked really good you even got the temperatur points added.
I showed my kids this video, 11yo and 7yo. They didn't believe it, so I got a vacuum pump out and showed them that when the pressure drops low enough, you can get water to boil at room temperature. It blew their little minds 😂
It can be used the other way around too; pressure cookers can go to higher temperatures, and cook food faster.
Pole pole doesn't mean "slowly, slowly" - it just means "slowly". Pole means "sorry". As in "pole, knees" on your way down.
Thank you Destin, for bringing us along. I know I am no where in the shape needed to summit Mt Kilimanjaro but you brought me (us) along as if we were in your pocket, and for that I am grateful to have been there through your experience.
That guides are absolute Gs.
3:02 is it fun to be a porter? As the ladies walk by with 50 kilos on their heads... 😅
The guides and porters have to say that otherwise they might get in trouble with their agency... The chances of them dying while working is not low
One must imagine the Porter happy.
Destin talks about that in more depth in the NDQ podcast. Bottom line: it's hard work, but because of the teamwork and camaraderie, as well as the genuine love for people, there is joy in it as well.
Heather is a category of plant that tends to occur where other plants don't grow very well, sometimes because the soil isn't good, or sometimes for other reasons. In Scotland, for example, heather tends to grow in windswept areas relatively near the coast. Tolkien wrote of an area called "the withered heath" ("heath" is a variant of "heather"), which was rocky and volcanic and semi-barren and inhabited mainly by dragons. In the Kilimanjaro area, I expect the heather may be able to grow at a higher elevation than other things, or with less water or more acidic soil, or some combination of these factors. Heather tends to get out-competed where other plants grow readily, so it's fairly uncommon in fertile and lush areas. But then as you approached the summit, you moved above the tree line and eventually above the snow line (which is quite a ways up at that latitude).
Visually, the climb looks like it ought to be easy, if you don't know how thin the atmosphere is up there. I doubt if you could find a location with an easier ascent to that altitude. But yeah, climbing to 19 thousand feet would be significant even if you had an escalator the whole way. (Though Denali is higher *and* located in the arctic; and the highest mountains, in the Himalayas and Andes, are almost a third again as high and feature far more challenging topography as well; but even very athletic inexperienced climbers should not attempt those ones; they're dangerous even for expert climbers.)
I absolutely love the attitude of the KiliWarrior staff! Keeping the mindset of slow and steady wins the race but also having fun while doing it! They’re really people’s people and I hope one day I’ll be fit enough to meet them 😊
Thank you everyone for this splendid piece of scientific art; all your efforts culminated in a top-notch watch ❤
I guess many of us could learn a lot from them.
Another awesome video. This one is up there with my other favorites on this channel
Really great you experienced this with your wife. Very special woman. Great video, the blood O2 info was fascinating, wish you shared more of the readings.
You are removing pressure. Remove enough and you can boil water (vacuum) and water will boil below freezing
At 8:30 couldn't it just be a weather change? Maybe a high (higher) pressure system was moving through
Those Kiliwarrior folks are beyond amazing. Prime examples of the resilience that humans are capable of.
You've summited one of the highest mountains of a continent in a "collab" with Brady, you've worked with Derek on the Coriolis effect using that kid's pool experiment... You guys are awesome, my favorite content creators!
This is why people who say we all should switch to Celsius, "cause 100 is when water boils" should shut up.
ah i guess i never realized that, at these elevations where the boiling point is lower, the water will never reach a temp higher than that boiling point. im not sure why but i never thought about it, i thought the water itself could continue to get hotter. maybe it can via steam or some sort of superheating. but just normal boiling it doesnt raise above the boiling point (sounds so obvious saying it aloud haha)
Yes! It's because changing state from liquid to gas is an endothermic reaction, it takes energy to do. So every gas bubble that's created reduces the heat energy by just a little bit, and the temperature balances itself at the boiling point. If you turn up the flame and add more heat, that only makes it boil more violently, but the temperature will never go higher than the boiling point. But you can get hotter liquid water by heating it in a sealed pressure vessel, because boiling point increases as the pressure builds.
Boiling means turning to gas. That cools since it takes energy away. Same happens to your skin when your sweat evaporates.
It is a heat transfer mechanism.
If it didn't the world as we know it would not exist.
A similar thing happens with melting ice. When you add heat, it turns from 0C ice to 0C water. But ice can't exist at higher than 0C (at room pressure). This is why a mix of ice and water, and I believe water and steam, can be used as a reliable temperature reference (except for the pressure thing ;P)
11:05 hahahah pick the best number!!!
Been waiting for this since Songs of Ascent!!
I've been waiting for this episode since the "Songs of Ascent" NDQ episode! I can't wait to watch it when I get a break from work!
Congratulations on conquering the Kilimanjaro, epic photo`s as usual. a well earned rest for all of you after that. And great initiative from IMI...
This was awesome to see!
When i did my Everest Base Camp trek i closed a empty water bottle at 5400 meters. it was so cool to see it get crushed slowly whilst i took it down the mountain. i kept it untill i got home (the Netherlands) wich is probably as low as you can go in terms of altitude. The bottle was really crushed by that moment.
i Love it when you can combine 2 very different things you love in a single moment.
Please don't get the summit bug and attempt Everest. It's way to dangerous and would hate to see anything happen to you.
No technical climbing for me.
Aconcagua?
Chimborazo is better. Plus there is a great flood story there too.
@maggru91 Says the neckbeard from his mom's couch
You really earned this one!
Wasee amkeni! Kuna mzungu ameguza mlima!!! Oh wait... Wrong mountain. Carry on!
we mzee 😂
Now that we've been back and forth, I've come to the conclusion, that Destin understands his audience very well. We prefer titles and thumbnails with added beard, and yet, he does not over-do it with extreme words like "mustache", which could scare off potential subscribers. Perfectly balanced.
Big congrats to you both!!! Epic achievement +10
Great video Dustin, as always! We all know about the boiling water temperature changes with altitude from text books, but this is fascinating when you demonstrate it this way. 👍🏾
Mt. Kilimanjaro is long time in my bucket list, will definitely try someday in near future. ✌🏾
What I find crazy is solar panels and a CCTV camera are up there 🤣
Yeah, on safari on the Serengeti we had internet and wifi in the camp. Blew my mind.
Lowest Starlink latency ever!
Yes I’ve been looking forward to this one after hearing the podcast
How to write off your vacation while cleverly disguising it as a scientific experiment.
I think that is what he meant by stealing Brady’s idea
Only complaint... you should have kept the beard.
Shout out to Shedrack wearing a SIUE Cougars Hat, that's where I went to college! So weird seeing a local college team all the way in Kilimanjaro!
I have been watching Destin for years and years now, and one of the things that always, ALWAYS impresses me is how he very intentionally learns peoples names. He is a genuinely caring person who makes people feel known and noticed just through simple, kind interactions.
I strive to be more like this. Not just Smarter Every Day, but better every day, too.
6:47 "huh, did someone put something over the skull?"
"......oh"
Um... the next video I was planning on watching after this is Ze Frank's True Facts: How Jellyfish Hunt. Am I not supposed to watch that?
I cant think.of a better one....! 😁
no one can answer that but yourself
I watched it before this one.
Those porters are absolute UNITS. I couldn't make that trek carrying literally nothing. I would have loved to do something like this in my teens/early twenties, but my athletic days are pretty well behind me.
Loved the NDQ podcast on this journey! Very cool.
"Be thoughtful about the next piece of content you consume".
I heard this line before, maybe years ago, it was in a video of yours. It was that day that I started using the Homepage less while using the Subscriptions page more.
The algorithm really isn't that great.
Cool guide you've got there 😎
This was a beatiful journey.
Listened to the ndq podcast about your climb yesterday, was looking forward to this episode!
Same!
That’s incredible. The highest I’ve ever made it is 17,700 and I thought I was dying. Truly amazing. Thx for sharing.
This was super cool and fun to see. Thank you not only for sharing the experience and science, but sharing the people.
This really drives home the insanity of those who climb Everest with NO OXYGEN!! No thanks!
Those stills were shot on film, weren't they?! I know it. Looks like it.
Also "Songs of Ascent" sounds awesome! Definitely gonna check that out!
So basically if you go high enough you can stick your hand in boiling water without burning yourself?
Yes. The problem is that the water in your hand would be close to boiling, too. Which could be harmful in other ways.
Put water in a clear syringe and cover the needle end. Retract syringe until under a vacuum and watch the water boil at room temp.
been waiting for this since the NDQ episode!!!
Would be cool if u could do a short text at the bottom or something of the units converted to metric.
This isn't a criticism, just an odd observation:
Weird that they're using imperial altitude measures but metric temperature. The temp makes sense for this context, even though I believe Fahrenheit is more intuitive for daily life. So similarly, it would have been interesting to see F° temps on-screen as well.
For most cases, divide by 3 will get you close. It is over by like 10%, so take off another 10%. If you want to be closer add back in 10% of that to be off by less than a percent and half more to be around a thou. 18000 ft /3 -> 6km -10%(600m) -> 5.4km + 60m ~> 5460m
Real conversion 18k => 5486m
Error (5486 - 5460) / 5486 => under by 0.47%
Error (5486 - 5490) / 5486 => over by 0.072%
I remember it as 3,10,10. Reverse it to go from meters to feet. Both are easy to do in the head and rare in the real world situations that being off by a few percent isn't going to be rounded off anyways.
Reversed: 6km x3 -> 18k + 10% (1.8k) -> 19.8k - (180) ~> 19,620 ft is short of 19,685 ft by 0.3%
@@AdmiralThumbs I imagine the guides know altitudes in both metres and feet to be able to speak to both American and other tourists. For Destin, preferring feet and °C might be a reality of engineering in North America-as an example, I do design engineering in Canada, and for American suppliers, I would almost always expect thermal specifications in °C but dimensional measurements most often in inches. I've noticed that many manufacturers clearly design in mm but then have their reference and manufacturing drawings specify inches.
Aviation has some similar chimeric unit situations: pretty much everywhere other than former Soviet states use feet and knots, given the US's influence in early aviation. However, in Canada and Europe we use °C for temperatures; and in Canada, we use inHg for pressure like in the US, whereas in Europe they use mbar/hPa.
@@sanholo9494 RE: @barongerhardt and @Laogeodritt both state good points. For an educational video, I was just thinking it'd be useful to communicate both systems of measurement (on screen; no need to bother the guide with this in the moment) to help the most people relate to the units they're familiar with.
As a side benefit, things like this could help more Americans get comfortable with the metric system.
That is a great sponsor and it really will impact the next video that I watch
How in the world did someone make a video about boiling water that I WANTED to see?
the music was so good thanks!
Is this is why coffee sucks in Denver Colorado?
Is this why everything sucks in Denver Colorado?
They hit Homer's though!
Those lads could rightly call you an airsick lowlander, Destin. Congrats on the summit, and on another excellent video.
RIP Rock :'(
Such a beautiful verse to end the video Psalm 95:4 - In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him.
What a hike man awsome video love the knowledge you bring but this was cool all around!! Keep doing you thing man!!❤
Bro is like that one jobless friend on a tuesday
On a wednesday it would be like Bono speaking the lyrics to The Fly while circular surroundings were made to look square?
They call those carts Kilimanjaro Taxis. The flowers are Helichrysum meyeri-johannis, commonly called the Everlasting Flower.
Everybody criticizes Fahrenheit without knowing it's origins. It was designed for easy reproduction, not high accuracy. 0F is the temperature you get when you melt ice using salt. 100F is human body temperature (which is remarkably consistent). These can be replicated very easily all over the world, allowing you to make a "pretty good" thermometer.
Achieving 0C and 100C without other advanced technologies (refrigeration, pressure gages) is actually quite hard, as we see here.
All measurement systems are equally as accurate.
98.6 ..... but whatever. lol.
The most likely case is the 0° F line was the coldest day at the inventor's house and 100° was the hottest.
The salt and human body explanation are too far off from the actual measurements to be true.
I like it cause it's basically a percentage of the weather temperature.
100 F is human body temperature. First time I hear that, and I can assure you this I will remember to my death.
@@teppo9585 There's debate whether the measurements were done on a sick person or the equipment was faulty. Also, human body temperatures have been steadily falling since the 1800s and nobody's exactly sure why (please, Google it)
I didn’t know you had a podcast! Feel like I just found treasure
Good job tax expensing your trip!
I have question. The purpose of boiling water basically killing the germs. Will 80°C kills them?
Why using feet alongside the celcius
Doesn't make any sense
You’ve clearly never been to the UK
Celsius is definitely the easier unit of measure for water -- it's literally built around phases of water. At sea level, 0 is freezing, 100 is boiling. So you know something interesting is going on when water boils at 80 degrees C.
It does make sense. As an altitude, it's just a number. How does 4,900m have any more intrinsic meaning to you
than 16,000ft. You may understand what walking 4.9 km is like, but can be forgiven for wondering what a 3 mile walk means. But that doesn't relate in any way to altitude.
For the sake of science and the fact that Destin's videos are enjoyed by people all over the world, it makes more sense to use the metric system entirely, rather than a mix of metric and imperial. Feet and inches mean nothing to people outside of the US...
Tanzania was UK colony. And I assume the guide used feet because Destin is from the US. They probably use meters when speaking to tourists from other parts of the world I assume.
The highest I've been outside an aircraft is a little over 13,000ft (3.96Km) on Wheeler Peak, Great Basin National Park, Nevada, USA. This was in my 20's and I thought I was going to pass out.
Tried it again earlier this year and made it a couple of miles before I knew it was a fail. I'll turn 62 at the end of October.
Vacation Tax write-off?
Next: "I measured how tan I got in Honolulu everyday!"
Just an amplification on the wear and tear on your knees on the way down. It’s actually the most common injury since folks are generally watched closely for altitude effects on the way up, but even someone in good shape can hurt their knees on the way down. It’s not a natural thing to step down that much especially on loose footing. So knee injuries are common. I have a friend who has climbed several high mountains and she hurt her knee coming down from a mountain. Took over a year to recover and still hurts her to this day if she’s not careful. It was her last climb.
25:16 people don’t understand the downhill is more rough because you are not used to that type of physical exertion. You think it’s the same as stepping up when you do your workout. It isn’t.
I recall learning that about 80% of accidents happen on the way down [citation needed]
Sherpas/Porters are really tough and durable people. It seems it's a young mans game though.
Small world. Your guide was wearing a SIUE beanie. That’s where I did my undergrad.
I had to pause the video when I saw that haha just stared at the screen like... Is that an SIUE beanie??? Lol
Likewise! Small world!
Didn't go to SIUE, but lived in St Louis for 8 years. Was not expecting to see an SIUE beanie at the top of Kolimanjaro
We are measuring temperatures in Celsius and altitude in feet so that no-one is happy (on screen conversions would be nice)
Otherwise, as always, it's a really nice video
As me, being a firefighter, I think you should definitely explain the reason about the limit of how high you can pull up water with a pump vs pushing it. Great relations to this video and the pressure vs boiling point. Even after knowing this fact for years, it’s still blows my mind.
Impressive video as always have us used to. I showed it to my son and I was translating little by little while I thought: Will we one day have a Smarter Every day channel in Spanish? keep it in mind
