World's highest weather station rebuilt on Mount Everest.

After the world's highest altitude was destroyed due to hurricane-force winds on Mount Everest, a team of scientists and Sherpa have again placed its new version atop Mount Everest. The group has been led by a 31-year-old electrician and mountain guide Tenzing Gyalzen Sherpa. 

According to the Guinness World Records report, the team of mountaineers and scientists has installed a record-breaking weather station at an altitude of 8,810 metres (28,904 ft); just 39 metres (128 ft) below Everest’s summit. 

The team started reinstallation of the world's highest weather station as a part of National Geographic and Rolex's ‘Return to Everest Expedition’ in May 2022. During this period, Tenzing, Matthews, and Perry were joined by 12 other Sherpa to install a weather station on the world's highest mountain.
