> the hardest place in the world for fire to do it's thing (Everything is ice)

I wondered, as IIRC newspaper doesn't burn (sustained) on top of Everest (9 km)... But it seems trash is burned (or buried) in "highest permanently inhabited place" La Rinconada Peru (5 km). South Pole is only 3 km, and Antarctica's Mount Vinson is 5 km. Though nicely cold. Anoxic caves like Movile Cave seem a pO2 equivalent of 6 to 9 km.
