45. On Top of the World
One of the traditions, when explorers and mountain climbers go all the way up to the top of a mountain, is to leave a piece of them behind as proof that they have been there at some time in history. Most of the time, they bring a flag of their nationality to represent the country they’re from. As you can see in this picture, the team of explorers left a giant United States Flag to show pride in their achievement at the top of the summit. Reaching the summit was not easy, as there was slippery ice all over the ground, making it extremely dangerous. So it’s great to celebrate once you reach the top.
