The highest mountains of the world: seven peaks. Where is Mount Elbrus? The highest mountains of the world on continents and countries

Improvered dimensions, splendor, painting and unavailability of mountains for a long time attract the attention of people. On any continent, local residents were sure: the highest place of land is located. True, everywhere there are difficulty large ridges. They are called "seven vertices". Only the units of all the climbers who experienced the luck could conquer the highest peaks. Richard Babs 04.04.1985 visited the last of them. Rock up the Jomolungma - the highest point of the planet, the most attracts the conquerors of the mountains. Only 11 letters in this word - how much they tell us about the biggest top of the world.

In 1852, the topographer and mathematician from India - Radhanat Sikdar determined that Jomolungma is the highest peak of the planet. It resembles a pyramid with three edges and practically gentle slopes. Translated from the Language of Nepalese Jomolungma - "Mother of the Universe", residents of Tibet master her - "Divine Mother of Snow". It is such names that were used by local residents who belonged to the mountain as a sacred. Europeans were not allowed into Tibet or Nepal, which means that they were unknown such designations. Therefore, 1865, Andrew called the Range on the name of his predecessor - the English Geodesist George Everest. According to one data, he determined the height simultaneously with Radhanat Sikdar, according to another - George Everest calculated the highest point of the planet, and Sikdar only announced these numbers.

Where is the highest mountain in the world?

The highest point of the planet is located in South Asia. These are central Himalayas, not far from the border of Nepal and China. Jomolungma is located in China.

Coordinates

27, 98791 ° Northern latitude, 86, 92529 ° Eastern longitude.

Characteristics of vertices

Western peak height - 5642 meters, Eastern - 5621 meters, southern - 8760 meters, and the north (highest) - 8848 meters.

Dangers for Everest climbers

The volcano does not function for a long time and, it would seem, the mountain is not dangerous. But Everest was covered with more than 200 climbers. Expeditions were killed here, or individual members of the group. So, the safest is 1993: 129 people got at the peak of Everest, and died when climbing 8. The most sad ended in 1996. It was possible to achieve the goal of 98 climbers. 15 - died, with 8 of them in one day. In the summer, the temperature ranges from 0 to -18 ° C. Adverse weather conditions characterized by increased air sparseness, extremely low temperatures (about -60 ° C), strong hurricane winds exceeding 60 m / s - not the only sources of danger. The climber may fall into the crevice of the rocks, fall from the steep slope, especially the gathering of avalante. Glaciers flow in all directions. Many suffer from mountainous disease or hypothermia.

Time climbing

The last 300 meters are the most difficult for climbers. They need to go a smooth and steep slope. When lifting Everest, the time required for the installation of the camp, acclimatization is taken into account. Everything together will take about 2 months. Conquerors of the highest point of the planet lose weight of 10-15 kg - an expedition worth such efforts.

Not everyone can try good luck. The opportunity to climb the mountain will receive a person who paid considerable money. There is also a climb order.

First conquers

In 1921, the first expedition to Everest was sent, but unbearable weather conditions forced her to return. This was the beginning of further attempts.

The best time for lifting - May: It becomes a little warmer, and the wind sink. T. Norki, E. Hillary was able to go to the goal through the South Saddle pass on 29.05.1953. This was preceded by approximately 50 scientific travels to Himalayas, Karakorum.

Most often tried to climb the British Peak, since this area was influenced.

One of the legends says that the expedition that conquered Everest did it in honor of the coronation of the Queen of England Elizabeth II.

In 1975, a female group was at the peak for the first time. The first woman who wake up on peak is considered a climbing from Japan - Dzünko Tabay.

Climbers from the Soviet Union were able to do this only in 1982, but they rose exactly from the most dangerous slope from the south side, where it is difficult to stay even in the snow. Before that, it was not possible to go through anyone.

Photo with a list of vertex conquerors

A team from China, consisting of 410 climbers, is considered the largest expedition largest.

Sherpa Appa from Nepal was able to get to the peak 21 times, starting from 1990 to 2011. This is a record for the number of lifts.

Everest, thousands of years who considered the impregnable fortress, by 2018 they conquered more than 8,000 people.

The unofficial chronicler of the history of the Conquerors of Jomolungma is rightfully considered to be Elizabeth Gouley - a former American journalist, living in the territory of the Himalayev for more than 50 years. She polls everyone going to ascend to the top and all descended from there.

Modern climbers have a significant advantage over the first conquerors. This is a great gear, an accurate topographic map, navigation devices.

But there is still no warranty of one hundred percent success. It is possible to rise to peak without oxygen cylinders. The number of people willing to conquer Jomolungma reaches 500 people per year.

The highest mountains of the Earth - list

To date, the following list of the highest points of the Earth is adopted:

1. Jomolungma in Asia.
2. Akonkagua (South America).
3. Denali in North America.
4. Kilimanjaro in Africa.
5. Elbrus (Europe).
6. Peak Vinson in Antarctica.
7. Jaya (Australia and Oceania).

Graph of the highest vertices

The highest points of the planet are eight-thousandnesses located in Asia in Karakorum, the mountain system of Himalayas.

Rating of large mountain peaks:

The highest point of Europe

Between Karachay-Cherkessia and Kabardino-Balkaria, the highest point of Europe is located at the Big Caucasus. This is Elbrus, which is a cone in the form of a saddle with two vertices. East peak height - 5621 m, Western - 5642 m.

Photo and map of Elbrus

The eruption of the volcano was in the 50s. AD, there is a liquid magma inside it, and the tectonic platform is movable. The surface is covered with 22 glaciers engaged in area of \u200b\u200b134.5 km 2. Glaciers feed on the Kuban rivers, Baksan, Malka.

From the Iranian Albros (Elbrus) translates in different ways: "High Mountain", "Mount of Bliss", "Mane Snow", "Eternal Mountain".

For the first time to get to the goal succeeded 07/10/1829 Hilara Kacharov in the composition of the Expedition G.A. Emmanuel. Before the Western point, people under the command of Crowford Growv were received only in 1874. And in 1997, the next Guinness record was recorded: the Land Rover SUV was at the peak of Elbrus.

Top rises in several ways:

• On the eastern edge, which begins with the village of Elbrus and stretches to the valley Iriktych, then through the pass and the glacier.
• The northern way is more picturesque - the hill has a view of the rocks and stones of intricate forms.
• The southern side is considered the most popular, it is precisely used most often for lifting.
• Western route is the most dangerous. There are many complex rates on the ice rock walls.

Every year about 20 people die here. But for extreme lovers there is a rope road running at an altitude of 3750 meters.

The highest point of North America

At the beginning of the beginning of the century, the highest point of the continent was called Big Mountain, until 2015, she wore the name of the American ruler of William McKornley. Now it is Denali, 6194 m high. That is what the Indians of Atabasi are called - the permanent residents of Alaska, which means "the Great." The mountain is located on the territory belonging to the National Park of the same name, from the south side of Central Alaska.

Geographical coordinates

63,0694 ° Northern latitude, 151.0027 ° ° East longitude. Before selling Alaska America, it was located in Russia.

For the first time reached the peak on 07.06.1913. American climbers led by Hudson Glass, Harry Carsten.

The best time for climbing begins in May and ends in July. It is much easier to breathe here compared to the rest of the world peaks.

The highest mountain in South America

Aconcagua is considered the highest peak of South America, located in Andes at an altitude of 6962 m. It is located in the National Park on the territory of Argentina. The history of the name is not known. Some believe that this translation from the Arakan language, meaning "comes on the other side" or "on the other side of the river," others call it from the Kechuel language "Stone (White) Guard".

Geographical coordinates

32,65383 ° Southern latitude of 70,01141 ° WORD LONG.

The expedition of Edward Fitzgerald in 1897 was able to climb the mountain for the first time. The smallest climber who conquered it, December 16, 2008, became a ten-year-old Matthew Monz. In 2007, Scott Lewis was the most elderly. At the time of the climb, he was 87 years old.

The rise on the slope from the north is technically simple, the top of the mountain is covered with glaciers and snow. There is no need to use special climbing equipment. The most often climbing climbing is chosen by the Polish glacier located on the northeast side.

Highest (big) Top of Africa

The highest point of the African continent (5895 meters) is considered Kilimanjaro. Peak is located with the northeast side of Tanzania in the territory belonging to the same park.

Geographical coordinates

3,07583 ° Southern latitude, 37,35333 ° Eastern longitude.

Ice cap, which is covered with volcano, rapidly melts. A glacier consisting of 3 vertices (Mavents, Shira, Kibiba) decreased by 85% over the past 100 years. Scientists believe that snow completely melts after 20 years.

The mountain is a volcano from hardened lava, ash and tephra. It was formed when the lava is eruption in the rite valley 360000 years ago. There is a chance that the peak of Kiba is a sleeping volcano, and therefore his eruption is quite possible. Some scientists believe that the name went from the Suakhilian language, and translates as "Mountain", others think that from the language of Kumagga - "Whiteness".

06.10.1889 with the third attempt to the city of Meyer, L. Purtsueller first conquered the volcano. The rise on it is technically simple and picturesque. Despite this out of 40 thousand people who have a desire to climb the mountain, do not achieve their goal. 01/21/2008 Seven-year-old Kitts Boyd rose to the top, being the most young climber who managed to do it.

The highest mountain Antarctica

On the territory of Massif, Elsurat on the Sentinel Ridge is located Peak Winson - the highest point of Antarctica, reaching 4892 meters. It was discovered by American pilots in 1957. Geographic coordinates: 78,5254 ° Southern latitude, 85.6171 ° West longitude.

The top is called by the name of Charles Vyson - American Congressman. It was not possible to conquer it from the first time. The rise is not much difficult, but in Antarctic, 1200 km to the poles - a dangerous undertaking. In 1966, Nicolas Klinch was for the first time to do it. For approximately 1500 people tried on Peak Winson.

In Australia and Oceania, their highest peak

The highest point of Australia and Oceania - Punch-Jaya, a height of 4884 m. Peak is located on the western side of New Guinea on the Maoche array. From Indonesian language translates as "Mount Victory". Yang Krastenex in 1623 from afar saw the top, so she first was named in his honor. Then she was renamed Sukarno - by the name of the President of Indonesia. Only since 1969, peak has its own modern name. Geographic coordinates: 4,0833 ° Southern latitude and 137.183 ° Eastern longitude.

Australian climbers led by Heinrich Harrer, first rose to the mountain in 1962. The conquest of the peak is considered the most difficult technical rating, but does not require great physical efforts.

To get to this mountain, you need permission from the government. Not far from the top was found the largest deposits of gold, silver and copper in the world. For this reason, from 1995 to 2005, access to it was completely closed. And since 2006, it was opened, but only with the help of travel agencies.

It is said that high mountains still grow

And it is true. Moreover, the mountains can not only grow, but also to "walk" and decrease.

This occurs due to the collision of the tectonic plates, as a result of which the folds folds are formed.

For example, for the year Everest increases by 3-6 mm, while moving to 7 cm to the northeast.

Also contribute to the growth of the volcano eruption when the magma is broken out, capturing the rocks with it. The vertices are reduced by weathering (as in the Urals) or natural cataclysms.

Each top of the planet is beautiful and inaccessible. Not all people are able to go there, but thanks to the Internet you can see video and panoramic photos of the mountains.

However, if you take the basis of the height not above the sea level, and on the base of the mountain, then the recognized leader among the highest mountains of the world becomes mount Mauna Kea - Shield volcano, located in the Hawaiian Islands.

Mauna Kea Mountain height from the base to the top is 10203 meters, which is 1355 meters above the jomolungma. Most of the mountain is hidden under water, and above the sea level, Mauna Kea rises at 4205 meters.

The age of the Mauna Kea volcano has about a million years. The peak of the volcanic activity falls on the panel stage of about 500,000 years ago. Currently, the volcano is recognized as inactive - according to scientists, the last eruption was 4-6 thousand years ago.

The highest mountains of the world in continents. Descriptions of the seven of the highest peaks of the world in terms of light.

"Seven vertices" is a climbing project that includes the highest peaks of the world in parts of the world. North and South America, as well as Europe and Asia are considered separately. Climbers who conquered all seven peaks, become participants in the club 7 vertices "

List of "seven vertices":

• Jomolungma (Everest) (Asia)
• Aconcagua (South America)
• Mac-Kinley (North America)
• Kilimanjaro (Africa)
• Elbrus or Mont Blanc (Europe)
• Massif Vince (Antarctica)
• Kosyushko (Australia) or Pyramid of Carwrens (Punchk-Jaya) (Australia and Oceania)

Seven highest mountain peaks in parts of the world. Map.

Jomolungma (Everest) - The first of the "seven vertices", the highest mountain of Asia and the highest peak of the world.

Jomolungma refers to the mountain system of Himalayas, the Mahalangur Himal Range. The Southern Top (8760 m) lies on the border of Nepal and the Tibetan Autonomous Region (China), the North (Home) Top (8848 m) is located in China.

Geographical coordinates of the Jomolungma Mountain - 27 ° 59'17 "s. sh. 86 ° 55'31 "in. d.

The fact that Jomolungma (Everest) is the highest mountain of the world, determined the Indian mathematician and the topographer Radhanat Sikdar in 1852 on the basis of trigonometric calculations when he was in India 240 km from Jomolungma.

The highest mountain of the world and Asia has the shape of a triangular pyramid. The southern slope is sharper, snow and frang on it are not held, so it is naked. From the top of the mountain range, many glaciers come down at an altitude of 5000 meters.

The first ascent to the largest mountain of the world was committed on May 29, 1953 by Sherpu Tenzing Northah and New Zealander Edmund Hillary through the southern saddle.

The climate of the highest peak of the world of Jomolungma is extremely harsh. Wind speed there reaches 55 m / s., And the air temperature drops to -60 ° C. As a result, climbing the highest mountain mountain is associated with many difficulties. Despite the modern equipment and equipment used by climbers, for each twentieth of them, the conquest of the highest peak of the world turns out to be the last business of life. From 1953 to 2014, about 200 climbers died on the slopes of Everest.

Akonkagua - The second of the "seven vertices", the highest mountain of South America and the highest peak of the Western and South Hemispheres of the Earth.

Mount Akonkagua is located in the central part of the Andes in Argentina. Absolute height - 6962 m. The highest peak of South America was formed when a collision of Lithospheric plates of Nask and South American. The mountain has many glaciers, the largest of which are Northeast (Polish Glacier) and East.

Geographic coordinates of Akonkagua Mount 32 ° 39 'Yu. sh. 70 ° 00 з. d.

Climbing the highest peak of the Western and South Hemispheres of the Earth is technically considered uncomplicated if carried out on the northern slope. From the south or south-west to conquer the top of the Akonkagua is much more complicated. The first ascent to the highest mountain of South America was recorded in 1897 by the Annavda Fitzgerald Expedition.

Mac-Kinley. - Third of "Seven Verkhin", the highest mountain of North America. Height - 6168 meters.

Geographic coordinates of Mac-Kinley Mountain - 63 ° 04'10 "s. sh. 151 ° 00'26 "s. d.

Mac-Kinley Mountain is located on Alaska, in the center of Denali National Park. Until 1867, the highest peak of the Russian Empire was considered until Alaska was sold to the United States. The first researcher of Mak-Kinlie is the Russian leader of the expedition of Lavrentinia Alekseevich Zagoskin, who first saw it on both sides.

The highest mountain of North America was first conquered by American climbers under the team of St. Hudson the Bak, which reached the peaks of the mountain on March 17, 1913.

Mac-Kinley Mountain was previously called differently. Indians Atabasi - indigenous people - called her Denali, which means "the Great." While Alaska belonged to the Russian Empire, the mountain was called simply "Big Mountain". In 1896, the highest mountain of North America received its current name in honor of the 25th American president.

Kilimanjaro - The fourth of the "seven vertices", the highest mountain of Africa. Height - 5,891.8 m.

Geographic coordinates of Kilimanjaro Mountain - 3 ° 04'00 "Yu. sh. 37 ° 21'33 "in. d.

Kilimanjaro is a potentially active stratovan in the northeast of Tanzania. The highest peak of Africa consists of three main vertices, which are also extinct volcanoes: Shira in the West with 3,962 m above sea level, cybo 5 891.8 meters of height in the center and Maventsi from 5 149 meters of height in the east.

The top of the Cybo volcano is covered with ice cap. Once this cap was clearly seen from afar, but at present the glacier actively melts. Over the past 100 years, a glacier covering the top of the highest African mountain has decreased by more than 80%. The melting of the glacier is associated with a decrease in the amount of precipitation associated with the cutting of forests on the territory adjacent to the mountain. According to some estimates of scientists, Kilimanjaro ice hat will disappear by 2020.

The first ascent to the highest peak of Africa was committed in 1889 by Gansa Meyer. The rise in Kilimanjaro is not considered difficult from a technical point of view, although incredibly entertainment. Because of the proximity to the equator on the mountain, all types of high-altitude explanation are presented, which the climber consistently passes one by one. Thus, in the process of climbing, you can see all the basic climatic belts of the Earth in a few hours.

Elbrus.- Fifth of the "seven vertices", the highest mountain of Europe and the highest peak of Russia.

Geographic coordinates of Mount Elbrus - 43 ° 20'45 "s. sh. 42 ° 26'55 "in. d.

The border between Asia and Europe is ambiguous, as a result of which disputes are being conducted whether Elbrus refers to Europe. If so, this mountain is the highest point of Europe. If not, the palm of the championship moves to Mont Blanc Mount, which is discussed below.

Elbrus is located at the Big Caucasus, on the border of the republics of Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia. It is the highest mountain of Russia. The highest peak of Europe is an two-sized saddled cone of the volcano. Western peak has a height of 5642 m, Eastern - 5621 m. The last eruption was in the 50s AD.

The largest mountain of Europe is covered with glaciers with a total area of \u200b\u200b134.5 km²; The most famous of them: Big and Small Azaau, Terkol.

The first documented ascent to Mount Elbrus dates back to 1829 and was committed during the expedition under the leadership of General G. A. Emmanuel, the head of the Caucasian fortified line. Climbing to Mount Elzor in the climbing classification is not technically difficult. Although there are high complexity routes.

Massif Vince - Sixth from "Seven Verkhin", the highest mountain of Antarctica. Height - 4897 meters.

The geographic coordinates of Massiva Winson - 78 ° 31'31 "Yu. sh. 85 ° 37'01 "s. d.

Massif Winson is located 1200 km from the southern pole and is part of Elsuort Mountains. In length, the array extends 21 km, in width - 13 km. The highest vertex of Massif Winson is Peak Winson.

The highest mountain of Antarctica was discovered by American pilots in 1957. The first ascent to the highest peak of the southern continent was committed on December 18, 1966 by Nicholas Krinch.

Mont Blanc - The highest mountain of Europe, the fifth of the "seven vertices", if Elbrus belongs to Asia. Height - 4810 meters.

Geographic coordinates of Mont Blanc - 45 ° 49'58 "s. sh. 6 ° 51'53 "in. d.

The highest peak of Europe is located in the Alps mountain system on the border of France and Italy. Mount Mont Blanc is part of the Mont Blanc crystal array of about 50 km. The ice cover of the massif covers an area of \u200b\u200b200 km², the largest glacier is a Mer de Glaz.

The first ascent to the highest point of Europe, Mont Blanc was carried out by Jacques Balma and Dr. Michel Pakkar on August 8, 1786. In 1886, during his honeym month, the highest mountain of Europe conquered the future president of the United States of America Theodore Roosevelt.

Kosyushko - The seventh of the "seven vertices", the highest mountain of continental Australia. Height - 2228 meters.

Geographic coordinates of Kosyushko Mountain - 36 ° 27 'Yu. sh. 148 ° 16 'in. d.

The highest peak of the Australian continent is located in the Australian Alps in the south of the New South Wales in the territory of the eponymous National Park. Mount Kosyushko was opened in 1840.

The first ascent to the highest mountain of Australia in 1840 made a Polish traveler, geogrand and geologist Pavel Edmund Stzheletsky. He called the mountain in honor of the Military and Political Worker of Tadeusch Kostyshko.

Pyramid Carsten (Punch-Jay) - The seventh of the "seven vertices", the highest mountain of Australia and Oceania.

There are disagreements about what kind of mountain range to the last, seventh vertex. If you consider only the Australian continent, it will be the peak of Kosyushko. If we consider the whole of Australia and Oceania, it will be a Carswhene Pyramid with a height of 4884 m. In this regard, there are currently two "seven vertices" programs, including the first and second option. But the main option is still recognized by the Carsten Pyramid.

Geographic coordinates of the Punchak-Jaya Mountain - 4 ° 05 'Yu. sh. 137 ° 11 'in. d.

Mount Punchak-Jaya is located in the western part of the island of New Guinea and is part of the Maoc Maoca. The highest peak of Oceania is also the highest mountain located on the island. The mountain was opened in 1623 by the Dutch researcher Jan Kiston. In honor of him, the Punchak jaya mountain is sometimes called the Pyramid of Carsten.

The first ascent to the mountain was committed in 1962 by a group of four Austrian climbers under the leadership of Henry Harrera.

The highest mountains of the world in continents and countries. The highest tops of the earth.

NOTE: Among scientists are still disputes, rank or not Caucasian mountains to Europe. If yes, then the highest peak of Europe will be Elbrus; If not, then - Mont Blanc. So far, the unanimity has been reached in this matter, we ranked the Caucasus to Europe, and therefore the Mountains of the Caucasus (Russia) came to the list of the highest mountains of Europe.

In the topography of the top call the point on the surface of the Earth, which has the highest height above sea level. Most often, this concept is applied to a certain grief or mountain range.

To date, there are fourteen peaks in the world, the height of which exceeds 8 thousand meters, and ten of them are located in the Himalayas. Climbers say it is difficult to find a more secluded place on Earth than a mountain peak.

So let's talk about the highest mountains, which were even recently considered inaccessible. But today the highest points and the biggest mountains are conquered, and some and more than once, brave and courageous climbers.

Mauna-Kea, spreading at the Hawaiian Islands rightly wears the title of the biggest mountain of the world.

The extinct volcano is located in the Pacific Ocean, and 6 thousand meters are immersed in the sea depths. A person can contemplate the overtaking part, flowing into the heaven at a height of 4,205 meters above the water surface. Thus, the height of this volcano from the foot to the top is 10,200 meters, which is the biggest mountain height on the ground.

The biggest mountain of the world, according to experts, formed about a million years ago. "White Mountain", as the name of this giant is translated from the Hawaiian language, it is considered sacred and only the leaders of the tribe can visit it.

Let's start with the mountain lying outside the Himalayas in the Karakorum mountain system. The height of this peak is 8,080 meters.

The first ascent to Hidden Peak was made by American climbers in 1958. Two attempts taken before that were completed.

According to eyewitnesses, there are excellent landscapes, covered by snow-white snow.

This high peak in Asia has become the first eight-year-old in the world who has conquered a person. In 1950, French climbers rose to Annapurn, the height of which is 8091 meters.

The name of the mountain range stretching by 55 kilometers is translated from the long-forgotten Sanskrit "Goddess of fertility".

Climbing 9 vertices, of which this mountain range consists, is a lot of dangers in themselves. For one of them, Machapuchar, because of the religious "taboo" no longer climbed the planet.

The highest point is the mountain of Nanga Parbat, is part of the array, which is located in the north-west of Himalayas. The peak is located at an altitude of 8,125 meters above sea level.

The Europeans learned about the unusual mountain range at the end of the XIX century, but the first successful ascent took place in 1953. The peak is included in the top three of the most dangerous eight-thousandths of the world.

After many unsuccessful climbing, this mountain is called the "killer". But on local adverbs she has not so terrible, but rather, the romantic names are "Naked Mountain", "Mount of Gods".
