You and your classmates have decided to take a vacation to the Andes in South America. You plan to spend 2 weeks hiking, camping, and exploring the area. 1. While you are there, you can expect to undergo some acclimatization to this high-altitude environment. Describe one of these possible acclimatizations. 2. Why would your body undergo such a change? What benefit or benefits does this acclimatization afford while you are vacationing at high altitude? 3. Several weeks after you have returned home from your vacation, will you still have this acclimatization? Why or why not? 4. While you are in the Andes, you notice that local people seem to be better adapted to the high-altitude conditions than you are. Describe one of their possible adaptations. 5. If someone with this adaptation were to visit you at a lower altitude, would they lose their adaptation? Why or why not?
