Mount Fuji now gets its own internet connection.

富士山接上自己的网络了！

The Japanese government installed a wifi connection up the mountain, so that people can stay connected even as they ascend¹ and then come back down.

Though the wifi connection has been mocked as just a way of letting people post their celebratory Instagram snaps just a little earlier, it could actually keep those climbing the mountain safe. They’ll be able to look out for weather warnings and take shelter accordingly, and the wifi will let people call for help even if they’re out of range of a phone connection.

The wifi is available in a series of spots along the ascent², and protected with a special password. It will only be free for the first 72 hours after people connect.

Fuji joins a list of other places around the world – and above it – that have their own wifi connections.
