TEHRAN – Iranian woman mountaineer Afsaneh Hemati reached the summit of Everest, world's highest peak, on Sunday.
In a video message published on her Instagram account, Hemati thanked the people who helped him to climb the summit.
Farkhondeh Sadegh, a graphic designer, and Laleh Keshavarz, a dentist, are the first Iranian women to reach the peak.
They hoisted Iran’s tricolor flag on the summit in 2005.
Mount Everest is indisputably the world’s highest peak – approximately 8,850 meters.
