What are the highest 10 mountains in the World? Mountains are the indispensable passion of mountaineers. Many lost lives, many sensations unexplainable victories have occurred in those hills. What kind of passion is that some climbers try to climb up to 25% of the K2 mountain, where one of every four people who are climbing is killed. Mountaineering is an indescribable passion.
So what are the most challenging trails in the world? Where are the highest distances? We will answer these questions in this gallery.
So lets find out the 10th highest mountain in the world and the first climbers.
- Everest Mountain, Himalayas
Mount Everst in Himalayas is the highest mountain in the world with 8842 m. It is the chief goal of these mountain climbers that distinguish the People’s Republic of China from Nepal. The summit was first seen on May 29, 1953 at 11:30 am with Edmund Hillary from New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay from Nepal.
Everest Mountain is so high that it passes 2 out of 3 of the troposphere, so there is a lack of oxygen above. Due to the lack of oxygen, winds up to 100 km / h and temperature is down to -70 degrees Celsius, there is no animal or herbal habitat on Mount Everest. The glaciers on the lower part are fed by the avalanches of strong winds that sweep the snow at the top of Everest.
Mount Everest is presumed to be a trapped and upward mass of land, about 2.5 million years ago, when the Indian subcontinent approached the Tibet plateau.
- K2 Mountain, Himalayas
K2 Mountain located on the border with Pakistan and the People’s Republic of China, K2 Mountain is the 2nd highest mountain in the world. The second highest mountain in the world after Everest with its altitude of 8611 meters is “Godwin Austen (K2 Mountain)”. Although it ranks second in terms of height, it ranks first in terms of difficulty. For this reason, the summit of K2 is called the “holy summit” for climbers. K2 mountain is so cruel that one out of every four people trying to come out has died there.
The main reason why the K2 mountain is so difficult is that it is very steep. Diction means both climbing difficulty and more dew and rock fall.
On July 31, 1954, the Italian Lino Lacedelli and the Italian Achille Compagnoni managed to climb for the first time.
3. Kanchenjunga Mountain
Kanchenjunga Mountain is the third highest mountain in the world with 8,586 m. On 25 May 1955, Joe Brown and George Band were the first to reach this mountain in the Himalayas between India and Nepal. Before Joe Brown and George Band, Kanchenjunga Mountain was tried to climb for 50 years, but it was not successful. The mountain is too steep and the unstable wind speed changes on the mountain both increase the avalanche formation and make the climb very difficult. In 2013, a catastrophe occurred in the mountains of Kanchenjunga and 5 climbers lost their lives due to falling avalanches.
4. Lhotse Mountain, Himalayas
The Lhotse mountain in the Himalayas is the fourth highest mountain in the world after Everest, K2 and Kangchenjunga. The highest peak of the Lhotse mountain is 8516 m. But there are also 8,414 m altes and 8,383 m altzirs. Although the Lhotse mountain is generally an easy climbing destination, it is quite difficult to achieve this from the southern part of the mountain. The south face of Lhotse Mountain is the world’s steepest climbing track, and so many of those who try to climb here have failed. Climbing from the other side is much easier than the South part.
On 18 May 1956, the Swiss Fritz Luchsinger, Ernst Reiss, first climbed to Lhotse Mountain.
5. Makalu Mountain, Himalayas
Makalu mountain is the fifth highest mountain in the world with a height of 8,418 m. It is located on the border of the People’s Republic of China with Nepal in the Himalayas.
People tried to climb the Makalu mountain, which is a very challenging course, many times, but they did not succeed. Finally, on 15 May 1955, the mountain of Makalu was climbed by French Lionel Terray and Jean Couzy. These French climbers had tried a route that had never been tried before climbing Makalu Mountain, and later this route was the standard route for climbers.
6. Cho Oyu Mountain, Himalayas
Cho Oyu or Cho Oyo is the 6th highest mountain in the world with 8201 m. It is located 20 km west of Everest.
Cho Oyu was first climbed on October 19, 1954 by an Austrian team of Herbert Tichy, Joseph Joechler and Sherpa Pasang Dawa Lama.
7. Dhaulagiri Mountain, Himalayas
Dhaulagiri Mountain in the Himalayas is the 7th highest mountain in the world with a height of 8167 m. The first climb to the Daulagiri mountain, famous for its glaciers, took place in 1960.
8. Manaslu Mountain, Himalayas
Manaslu Mountain in the Himalayas of Nepal is the world’s 8th highest mountain with a height of 8164 m. The Manaslu Mountain was climbed atthe first time on May 9, 1956 by Japanese Toshio Imanishi and Gyalzen Norbu. In 1972, a disaster occurred. When the climbers came out of the camps at 6500 meters, the avalanches had fallen and a few minutes later and 15 climbers lost their lives.
9. Nanga Parbat Mountain, Himalayas
Nanga Parbat Mountain is the 9th highest mountain in the world with an altitude of 8126 m. It is located in the Kashmir region of Pakistan. It is one of the most dangerous mountains in the world to climb and for the first time on July 3, 1953, climbed by Hermann Buhl.
10. Annapurna I, Himalayas
Annapurna I, located in the Himalayas, is the tallest mountain in the world with an altitude of 8091 m. The first climb to the mountain of Annapurna took place in 1950. In 2014, the most terrible mountain disaster in Nepal was held in Annapurna I. 43 of the climbers stranded due to snowstorm and avalanches lost their lives, and many of the survivors had frozen and cut limbs. The death rate in this mountain with 6 peaks is over 40%. This also means the mountain where the highest mortality rate is among the dangerous mountains.
