Advertisements
उत्तर
- The ice axe is a hiking and climbing tool, typically used to help the mountaineer while ascending.
- In the given extract, the author uses one end of the ice axe to hold the flags of Great Britain, Nepal, the United Nations, and India, up high at the summit.
- It is important to note that since the journey up the mountain was dangerous and tiring, the author did not carry any special instrument to help him hoist the flags.
- However, at the top of the summit, his will to plant the flags was so strong that he used whatever resource he had to make it happen. As a mountaineer, his ice axe was the most obvious tool for the job. Thus, the ice axe became part of the great moment.
- This moment was captured by Hillary as proof and memory of their historic feat.
