Irish man Rory McHugh climbing Mount Vinson in the Antarctic in December 2022 Rory is on a quest to climb the highest mountain on all seven continents. Mount Vinson, which at 4,892m is the highest mountain in Antarctica, is number six on his list. Although the expedition was in 24-hour daylight, the sun simply going behind a cloud could lead to the temperature instantly dropping 20 degrees or more. The climb was eventually completed in temperatures of –40 to –45 degrees and winds of 30-40km/h. (Photo by The Irish Times)
