The amputee mountaineer, Arunima Sinha, who set a record by climbing the Mount Everest, has done it again by conquering Mount Aconcagua in Argentina.

She said in a statement that she started her mission on the morning of December 12 and hoisted the Indian tricolour on December 25.

Aconcagua is the highest mountain outside Asia, at 6,960.8 metres, and by extension, the highest point in both the Western Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
