Have you ever been caught by a thunderstorm in the mountains? It is said to be a terrifying experience. What should you do to avoid being struck by lightning?
A slope covered in snow should protect people from direct strikes. A small lump of rock, used as a seat, is a good place in an emergency as it can prevent ground currents reaching the body, as long as the spot chosen is at least one meter away from any vertical rock. Lightning experts disagree on whether or not it is a good idea for mountaineers to get rid of any metal objects they may be carrying as soon as a thunderstorm starts. Mountaineering professionals advise climbers to keep away from equipment such as ice-axes, which should never be left with their tips pointing skywards: in that position they tend to attract lightning. Some scientists, however, argue that metal instruments, attached to the lower part of the body, can encourage the electricity to jump and therefore reduce the charge passing through the body. They also advise mountaineers to hold on to their ice-axe and to point its tip towards the ground. That, they say, keeps the current away from those parts of the body that are most vulnerable to powerful electric shocks, such as the heart or the brain.

1. In thunderstorms climbers should avoid
A. standing in snow on the mountain side.
B. sitting too near to vertical rock.
C. parts of the mountain that are in the clouds.

2. Who suggests using metal objects for protection?
A. mountaineering professionals
B. lightning experts
C. some scientists

3. Some scientists say mountaineers are more likely to survive if they
A. point their ice-axe down.
B. point their ice-axe up.
C. don’t have metal instruments.
