The world's highest mountain laboratory

Theodore Bowen
OpenURL
Show Topic
High in the mountains of Bolivia is situated a spacious and well‐equipped high‐altitude laboratory. At an altitude of 17 000 feet, it can be reached by auto all year around and virtually unlimited power is brought in on a special high‐tension power line. The story of how the Chacaltaya laboratory was constructed is a testimonial to what can be accomplished by determined physicists even in a relatively unprosperous country.
