Humans can survive at high altitudes. However, if you go to a high altitude, your body needs to adjust properly by getting used to it slowly or you could get sick.
At higher altitudes such as on top of a mountain, the air is less dense and this means that the partial pressure of oxygen is lower. Hence, the fall in atmospheric pressure at higher altitude decreases the partial pressure of inspired oxygen
High altitudes can cause low oxygen saturation levels or desaturation of an individual's blood. It happens because of low atmospheric pressure at high altitudes. Oxygen saturation levels refer to the extent hemoglobin is bound or saturated to oxygen.
