Two mountaineers, Jakob Urth and Rasmus Kragh, are currently on their way to the top of Mount Everest. Kapacity is assisting with data collection, analysis, and visualization, allowing their journey to be followed from computer screens. GPS data, health data, meteorological data, and geodata are being collected and compared, making it possible to closely monitor the mountaineers' journey.

Morten Brandstrup, Head of News production at TV2, comments on Kapacity's role: "It's fantastic to have Kapacity's data experts on the team. They find stories in data, enabling TV2 to tell and create an even sharper story for viewers."

Therefore, Kapacity is helping to process and find stories in data. We will contribute with further analysis of data in a documentary about Jakob's challenge with Mount Everest, which will be broadcast in the autumn. Based on sports data, we will be able to confirm or disprove hypotheses, as we can see how he should perform on his journey to the top.
