Mountaineer Mirza Ali wore his white “I love Pakistan” T-shirt at each of the 55 airports he passed through while helping his sister during her successful ascent of the highest peaks on each of the world’s seven continents. Addressing a ceremony celebrating the successful completion of the Adventure Diplomacy Expedition, Ali, 30, and his sister Samina Baig made an appeal to the government to launch a special fund for adventure sports in Pakistan.

Having made headlines for being the first woman of Pakistani or Muslim birth to summit Mount Everest in May 2013, Baig’s enthusiasm and courage inspired many across the world.
