Doha: Battling freezing temperatures and strong winds, long-time Qatar resident Safrina Latheef stood atop the world yesterday at 10:25 am Nepal time, having reached the summit of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world.
Latheef stood at the 8,848-metre summit after climbing for over 20 hours. With this achievement, she becomes the first Doha-based Indian expat woman and the first woman from Kerala to reach Everest’s peak.
Latheef has been living in Qatar since 2001 with her husband, Dr. Shameel Musthafa, a surgeon at Hamad Medical Corporation, and their daughter, Minha.
Her achievement is the result of years of training and passion. Latheef has already climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania (5,895m), Aconcagua in Argentina (6,961m), and Mount Elbrus in Russia (5,642m)- all alongside her husband. She also completed high-altitude ice training in Kazakhstan.
