A Polish teenager has become the youngest Pole in history to conquer the eighth-highest mountain in the world.

Zoja Skubis, an influencer known for documenting her life and adventures on TikTok, reached the summit of the 8,163-meter Mt. Manaslu in the Himalayas on Thursday.

Posting on Instagram, the delighted 19-year-old wrote: “I did it! Yesterday at 5:09 AM, I stood on the summit of Manaslu.

“The youngest Polish woman to conquer 8k! Behind me a whole year of preparation, 3 weeks sitting in Base Camp and 4 days summit attack.”

Her record-breaking ascent of Manaslu, a notoriously dangerous peak in the Nepalese Himalayas, adds to an already impressive list of achievements.
Skubis has roller-skated around Singapore, run a half marathon in the Arctic Circle, and now plans to run a marathon in Antarctica this December.

She now plans on conquering Mount Everest.
