What to remember
On the slopes of Ojos del Salado in Chile, on 21 April 2007, the Chilean duo of Gonzalo and Eduardo Canales Moya drove a modified Suzuki Samurai up to 6,688 m, or 21,942 ft.
That is the highest point reachable by land vehicle. The pair set the high-altitude record for a four-wheeled vehicle there, on a mountain in their own country.
This record holds for the whole planet, not for a single continent or country.
