Abstract

If the lowering of atmospheric pressure is the most conspicuous of changes in the highlands environment, surely the lowering of boiling points is its most obvious effect. Eggs can’t be hard-boiled as easily as at sea level, and handbook values of boiling points can’t be used without correction.
