The expedition did not have heavy cylinders of compressed oxygen or closed-circuit rebreathers with chemically generated oxygen but took an apparatus to produce oxygen on the mountain apparently by a 19th century heated chlorate chemical method. Oxygen was to be manufactured in camp, stored in rubber bags, and used with an open-circuit breathing set while climbing. The equipment was taken, but once in Bolivia, a late change in plans resulted in a summit attempt on 6,427 m (21,086 ft) Ancohuma rather than Illampu on the twin-peaked Sorata massif. The summit attempt ended prematurely at 4,700 m (15,350 ft), and the oxygen system was not used. The present paper reviews some of the supplemental oxygen options that were available in 1903 and examines the Sorata expedition, a little-known part of the early history of mountaineering oxygen use.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/ham.2024.0098","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,27]],"date-time":"2024-11-27T11:47:50Z","timestamp":1732708070000},"page":"227-235","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Supplemental Oxygen on the Annie Smith Peck Expedition of 1903 to 6,367 m (20,892 ft) Mount Sorata (Illampu)"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-5367-068X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Harvey V.","family":"Lankford","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Endocrinology and Nuclear Thyroidology (Retired), Richmond, Virginia, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hannah","family":"Kimberley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Academy at Penguin Hall Wenham, Massachusetts, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_6_2_1","unstructured":"Abbott L.
