Why is it possible for hikers camping near the top of a 14000-foot peak to get really hot cup of coffee?

Hikers camping near the top of a 14,000-foot peak can get a hot cup of coffee because the boiling point of water decreases with elevation. At higher altitudes, water boils at a lower temperature due to reduced atmospheric pressure, which can affect cooking and beverage preparation. However, they can still heat water above its boiling point, allowing them to brew coffee that is hot enough to be enjoyable, despite the lower boiling point. Additionally, using insulated containers can help maintain the temperature of the coffee.
