What temperature does water boil at on Everest? - Live Experiments (Ep 31) - Head Squeeze

Filmed during science daredevil Greg Foot's recent expedition climbing Mount Everest, Greg carried out some experiments to find out how altitude effects the temperature at which water boils.

29th May 2013 marks 60 years since New Zealander Edmund Hilary and Nepali climber Tenzing Norgay were the first people to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
