"...the altitudes..." edit

In the second paragraph, the third sentence reads "The expedition used two small Bell helicopters, but the altitudes severely limited their effectiveness..." This is a curiously ambiguous statement, as "the altitudes" could mean that they had to operate at altitudes so high as to be near the service ceiling of the aircraft, or so low (such as if it was required by persistent cloud cover) that it took the aircraft too close to peaks, tree canopy, or other hazards. Can anyone explain and perhaps tweak the statement to be more understandable? Bricology (talk) 03:32, 13 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
