Our Sponsors   Mt. McKinley - Medical Expedition After climbing Mount Logan, Christian Otto organized the Mount McKinley Research expedition while still a fourth year medical student. The McKinley expedition team on the tarmac in Talkeetna, Alaska. Selecting a team of fit climbers from Canada and the US, the climbing/research team tackled North America’s highest mountain at 6193m. The expedition team on the McKinley summit ridge. Working again with MSAT and the Ottawa Heart Institute, the research team examined the effects of high altitude on the brain’s control of the heart, how high altitude affects sleep, the effects of low oxygen on muscle physiology, and the transmission of medical data from remote environments. The entire seven person expedition team summitted Mount McKinley, and collected valuable research data. Dr. Shebaz Butt on the Summit of Mt. McKinley. Dr. Martha Johnson hooked up for a sleep study high on Mt. McKinley
