The Tallest Mountains on Earth
The Tallest Mountains on Earth
There are only fourteen mountains
on Earth that rise to over 8000 meters (26,250 feet), and to climb any
of them represents one of the biggest challenges known to man. The 8000m
mark is so coveted because it is above this height that climbers enter
the 'Death Zone'; the point at which oxygen levels are not sufficient
enough to sustain human life. Of course this small fact has not stopped
people from attempting to climb these wondrous mountains in pursuit of
fulfilled dreams, iconic landmarks and the spectacular views of the
world below that these skyscraping peaks offer. Here are the 14
eight-thousanders, along with some fascinating information about the
peaks, and man's attempts to climb them.
