Question

2) What is the significance of
'Kerosene flavoured tea' in the
context of 'On to the summit'.​

Mountaineers often use kerosene stoves for cooking which leaves the smell of the fuel in the food. The tea was thus kerosene flavoured because Noyce had made in a hurry on the stove. This shows his excitement and eagerness to meet the author and Hillary and congratulate them on their success.
