7 World's Highest Peaks known as the highest peak found in every continent on Earth. Singer Concept First proposed by Richard Bass in the 1980s and has become the destination for a review every Mountaineers Climbing respectively during their life. Bass is to first orangutan-Peak Peak Climbing ALL THAT And NEVER hold the record for review Being the oldest orangutan Climbing Everest. The 7 Peak THAT NO DOUBT Again, Andari may have heard of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and Mount Everest in Nepal. Andari please read to the End - how their High, where Yang paling challenging And Why Should make the climb To the highest peak in the world. 1. Mount Everest (8,850 m) (Asia)

is the highest mountain in the world (if measured from sea level). Peak ridge marks the border between Nepal and Tibet; the peak in Tibet. In Nepal, the mountain is called Sagarmatha , Sanskrit for "Forehead of Heaven") and in Tibetan Chomolangma or Qomolangma ( "Mother of the Universe"),. The mountain is getting his English name from the name of Sir George Everest. This name was given by Sir Andrew Waugh, the surveyor-general of India Englishman, the successor to Everest. The summit of Everest is one of the Top Seven Summits of the world. Radhanath Sikdar, surveyor and mathematician from Bengal, was the first to declare Everest as the highest peak through trigonometric calculations in 1852. This calculation is performed using a theodolite from a distance of 150 miles away in India. Most people in India believe that the peak should be named according Sikdar, not Everest. This mountain has an elevation of about 8850 m; although there are variations in terms of size (both the government of Nepal and China have not ratified this measure formally, the height of Mount Everest is still considered 8,848 m by them). Mount Everest was first measured in 1856 have a height of 8839 m, but declared as 8,840 m (29 002 ft). An additional 0.6 m (2 ft) showed that at that time the exact height of 29,000 feet will be regarded as estimates are rounded. Estimated commonly used at this time is 8.850 m obtained through the reading of the Global Positioning System (GPS). Mount Everest is still rising high due to the movement of tectonic plates that region. Mount Everest is the mountain whose peak reaches the farthest distance from sea level. Two other mountains are sometimes also referred to as "the highest mountain in the world" is Mauna Loa in Hawaii, which is the highest when measured from its base at the bottom of the sea, but only reached an altitude of 4,170 m above sea level and Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador, the peak 2,150 m is higher than the earth's center than Mount Everest, because the earth bulges at the equator region. However, Chimborazo only reached an altitude of 6,272 m above sea level, so it is not even the highest peak in the Andes. Basic deepest oceans deeper than the height of Everest: Challenger Deep, located in the Mariana Trench, is so deep that if Himalayan put in it, there are nearly 1.6 km of water covering it. 2. Aconcagua (6.959 m) (Amerika Selatan

At 6962 m (22 841 ft), Cerro Aconcagua is the highest mountain in the Americas, and the highest mountain outside Asia. It is located in the Andes mountains, in the Argentine province of Mendoza. The summit is located about 5 kilometers from San Juan Province and 15 kilometers from the international border with Chile. It lies 112 kilometers (70 miles) west of the northern city of Mendoza. Aconcagua is the highest peak in both the Western and Southern Hemisphere. It is one of the Seven Summits. Aconcagua is limited by Valle de las Vacas to the north and east and the Valle de los Horcones Inferior to the West and South. Mount and its surroundings are part of the Aconcagua Provincial Park. The mountain has a number of glaciers. The glacier is the Ventisquero Horcones Inferior about 10km long which descends from the south face of the 3600m altitude near the Confluencia camp. Two other major glacier system is Ventisquero de las Vacas and Glaciar Sur Este / Ventisquero Relinchos system about 5 kilometers long. However, the most famous is the north-eastern or Polish Glacier, which is common these rises. Mountain was created by the subduction of the Nazca Plate under the South American plate during the geologically recent Andean orogeny, but is not a volcano. The origins of the name is disputed, it is both of Arauca Aconca - Hue, which refers to the Aconcagua River and means' comes from the other side ', the Quechua Ackon Cahuak, which means' Sentinel of Stone', or the Quechua Anco Cahuac, 'White Sentinel '. 3.

It was once called Mount McKinley after US President William McKinley but named back in 1980. Mount Denali is known for cold weather, it contains five large glaciers. One thermometer that was left on the mountain for more than 19 years recorded that it had reached -73.3C (-100F). Severe altitude sickness is also prevalent on latitude Denali because it is much higher. A mountain like Denali in equater will have approximately 47% more oxygen at the summit, compared to sea level. 4. Kilimanjaro (5.895 m) (Afrika)

Location: Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, Africa Height: 5,895 meters or 19.640 feet Kilimanjaro is composed of three cones inactive volcano and the highest peak in Africa. Kibo is the highest cone where Uhuru Peak stands on Tanzania. It usually takes 4-5 days to climb Kilimanjaro and dismissal cottage located on every day of the trip. The mountain is considered one of the "easier" to climb and it is possible for those who have limited mountaineering experience. Avoid altitude sickness by acclimatization is one of the hardest parts. 5. Mount Elbrus, Kaukasus (5.642 m) (Eropa)

Caucasus is a region in Eastern Europe and Western Asia between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea that includes the Caucasus Mountains and other low areas. Caucasus sometimes considered part of Central Asia. The highest peak in the Caucasus is Elbrus (5.642m), which is also considered as the highest mountain in Europe.

Puncak Jaya has an altitude of 4884 m and in the vicinity there Carstensz glacier, the only tropical glacier in Indonesia, which most likely will soon vanish due to global warming. This peak is never named Poentjak Soekarno and the highest mountain in Oceania. Puncak Jaya is one of the Seven Summits of the world Top.
