Deadly Snowy Summits

Human beings have always had an infinite curiosity about the unknown world deep in their hearts. Those inaccessible and mysterious places on Earth have become the goals of countless explorers. The snow mountain is a very attractive scenic spot, which also attracts many explorers to climb.

But it is also because of this curiosity that many "fatal temptations" have arisen, and many people have lost their lives on the snow-capped mountains. Today, we will introduce several beautiful and dangerous snow mountains.

Mount Everest: The Highest Peak in the World

As we all know, Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world, and the temperature on the top of the mountain is minus 34 degrees Celsius all year round.

Although there is an endless stream of climbers who come here for fame, many people die or give up halfway every year. Especially because of the changeable weather, many people died on the way down the mountain, which is why you can't spend the night on Mount Everest.

Annapurna: The Most Difficult Peak in the World

Annapurna, located in Nepal in the middle of the Himalayas, is 8,090 meters above sea level and is the 10th highest peak in the world.

Annapurna was the first 8,000-meter peak to be summited, but that doesn't mean it's an easy mountain. Quite the opposite, it is considered by all climbers to be one of the most difficult peaks in the world due to frequent avalanche accidents.

Mont Blanc: The Highest Peak in the Alps

Mont Blanc is the highest peak in the Alps and the highest peak in Western Europe, with an altitude of 4,807 meters.

The French name means "silver mountain" and it is located on the border between France and Italy. It doesn't look terribly intimidating, but it has claimed more than 8,000 lives. It's hugely popular among climbers.

Eiger: The Lifelong Dream of Countless Mountaineering Enthusiasts

Mount Eiger is located in the Alps in Switzerland. Successfully climbing its dangerous north slope has become the lifelong dream of countless mountaineering enthusiasts. The North Face of the Eiger is one of the steepest and most rugged natural dangers in Europe.

Part of it is a limestone wall with a vertical drop of 1,830 meters, which is extremely dangerous for climbers. Because there are often rolling stones on the north slope of the Eiger and the unstable climate there, it is extremely difficult to climb the Eiger from the north slope.

Aconcagua: The Highest Mountain in South America

At 6,962 meters above sea level, Aconcagua is the highest mountain in South America and one of the most challenging climbs in the world. Because it is located at the junction of the subtropical zone and the frigid zone, climbers need to deal with various challenges such as high altitude, extremely cold weather, and harsh climate.

Climbing to the top of these snow-capped mountains is a great challenge for climbers, who need to withstand various pressures such as high altitude, severe cold, and extreme weather. In order to ensure their own safety, climbers need to strictly abide by the climbing plan, wear appropriate equipment, and master relevant skills and knowledge.

At the same time, due to the unpredictable climate and weather, it is difficult for even experienced climbers to avoid encountering dangerous situations.

Therefore, in order to protect the life safety of climbers, some snow-capped mountains implement flow-limiting measures to limit the number of climbers or only allow professional climbers who have passed strict audits to climb to the top.

Climbing a snow-capped mountain is a challenging and dangerous extreme sport. It requires climbers to go all out to complete the challenge on the premise of ensuring their own safety.
