The authors discuss modern views on altitude acclimatization and acute mountain sickness (A.M.S.). They particularly consider recent observations of high altitude retinal hemorrhages (H.A.R.H.). They report some subjects they personally examined and suggest the probable factors involved in the pathogenesis of the disorder.
