In 2022, DJI was able to fly one of their drones over Mt. Everest.

Here's the video recorded by the drone around the highest point on Earth!
https://youtu.be/Zz9oI3B6v4c

In 2024 and 2025, DJI drones, specifically the Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 4 Pro, achieved record-setting, high-altitude flights over Mount Everest, capturing 8K footage of the summit at 8,848 meters. These drones, often operated with 8KRAW, showcased remarkable stability in high winds (up to 50 km/h) and thin air.

Wild Argentina. High on the altiplano, with no one else for hundreds of kilometres, crossing beauty I never even imagined — something you won’t find in any book. Unique, memorable.

Just north of the famous Salar de Uyuni, Tunupa Volcano is somewhat secluded and sees far fewer visitors. It is beautiful, remote, and offers the best evening one could wish for.

At the Chile–Bolivia border and rising above 6000 m, Parinacota is an ancient volcano, a white sentinel watching over both countries, often disappearing into the afternoon storms.

Fun fact about Lake Titicaca. It is the highest navigable lake in the world, positioned at an elevation of about 3,812 meters (12,507 feet) in the Andes. #HighAltitude #IncredibleNature #travelmethis Image Credit:@travelnfoodman on instagram

Fun fact about Rocky Mountain National Park. The park is home to the highest paved road in North America, Trail Ridge Road, which peaks at 12,183 feet. #HighAltitude #ScenicDrives #alwaystrvlng Image Credit:@scottkissmx5 on instagram

Amazing live feed from a high-altitude balloon! Sent Sept 9 over the 70 cm ham band at ~300 kbps with a 1W transmitter—50 km range and Eb/N0 >20 dB. Brilliant demo of low-power, long-range video comms and tinkering. Don’t miss it! #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #BalloonLaunch #HighAltitude #RadioComms #DIY #Telemetry #Wireless #English

Day 5 is raw slopes and clean air above the #PikesPeakHighway in #PikesPeak #ColoradoSprings 🏔️

Rock textures, dark pines, and a strip of blue water that shows up when you least expect it.
I chased the contrast between soft color and hard stone until the frame felt sharp and quiet.

Day 4 is the higher mood, thinner trees and heavier sky as you keep climbing the #PikesPeakHighway ☁️ in #PikesPeak #ColoradoSprings

Cloud shadows slide across the slopes, then the light breaks through just enough to shape the ridgeline.

Day 3 is wide open air, ridges stacking toward the horizon as you climb the #PikesPeakHighway in #PikesPeak #ColoradoSprings 🏔️

I framed for depth and waited for the one moment the distance stopped being background.

Horus Binary v3 (amateur high altitude balloon telemetry protocol) was only announced as beta yesterday^1 and there's already several test payloads showing up on the map!

Unlike v2 payload callsigns and custom sensors can be sent without updating a central authority first. It features variable payloads lengths from 32bytes to 128bytes. And the decoder no longer requires a separate library built meaning we now have wheels on pypi for quick/easy install without the need to compile.

Details: https://github.com/projecthorus/horusdemodlib/wiki/99-Horus-Binary-v3-Beta-Testing-Notes

^1 in fact it's only really existed at all for a few days

Modern #inhabitants of the #TibetanPlateau are #descendants of people who have occupied the ‘#RoofOfTheWorld ’ for the past five #millennia . In the biggest #study of its kind, #researchers sequenced dozens of #ancient #genomes from the region, #revealing where its ancient #settlers came from and how they #adapted to #HighAltitude living.
Despite its inhospitable environment, #humans have been present on the #plateau since #prehistoric times.
