What are the seven peaks?
Seven summits are the highest peaks on all seven continents of the world and impressive climbing. In 2007, there were fewer than 200 climbers, including all seven peaks, including Rob Hall and Gary Ball, who completed all seven months in 1990, and the first woman to eliminate all seven, Junko Tabei in 1992. Denali, Elbrus, Aconcagua, Puncak Jaya, Vinson Massif and Mount Everest. This list was compiled by Reinhold Messner, who improved the earlier list created by Richard Bass, who also wrote the book Seven Summits . Many climbers who have successfully completed seven summits move on the other seven summits: Mount Kenya, Mount Tyree, Puncak Tricora, K2, Dyk-Tau, Mount Logan and Ojos del Salada. Some climbers claimed that the peaks of the other seven peaks, especially K2, represent a much more intense technical challenge than their higher counterpartsky.
The highest peak of the seven peaks is of course Mount Everest, at 29,029 feet (8,848 meters). Mount Everest is located in the Himalayan Mountains in Asia and sometimes also called the "peak of the world" because it is the highest point on Earth. Another highest peak is Aconcagua, located in the mountain mountains of South America between Chile and Argentina. Aconcagua is 22,481 feet high (6,962 meters). North America hosts the third highest mountain on the list, Denali, also known as Mount McKinley, located on Alaska with a height of 20,320 feet (6 194 meters).
The fourth mountain in the seven summity is Kilimanjaro in Africa, which focuses on Kenya at 19,339 feet (5,895 meters). The Mo Eastern Europe Elbrus, in the Caucasus, is another on the 18,481 -foot list (5,633 meters) - some people prefer Mount Blanc as the highest peak in Europe and do not count the Caucasus as part of thiscontinent. This is followed by Antarctica's Vinson Massif with a height of 16,067 feet (4,897 meters) and the final peak is Puncak Jaya, also known as Carstensz Pyramid, in Indonesia, with a height of 16,023 feet (4,884 meters). This latest mountain, representing Australasia, is questioned: some climbers prefer the Australian Mountain Kosciusko, which has about half the height of Puncak Jaya, but is also correctly placed in Australia, rather than in Oceania.
