Abstract
White Mountain (37.3803°N, 118.1520°W) is the third tallest peak in California, sitting at 4344 m (14,252 ft). These photos were taken by members of the 2018 SEAWARD altitude research study1 on their way to Barcroft Station, a research laboratory built in 1951 on a lower saddle of the peak at 3798 m (12,470 ft). Barcroft Station is part of University of California Los Angeles’ White Mountain research station and is host to facilities and laboratories for various types of research. It hosted Nobel laureate George Smoot during his research on cosmic background radiation and still serves as the site for current studies on altitude’s effect on human physiology.
