Makalu, like Everest and Lhotse, is located within the Himalayan Mountain Range, 12 miles southeast of Everest, on the China-Nepal border. Its name means Great Black One, due to its black rock formation. Its four-sided, pyramid-like symmetrical shape attracts photographers from around the world. The first to attempt to scale its peak was an American team led by Riley Keegan in 1954, whose team included members of the Sierra Club, but a series of deadly storms pushed them back. In 1955, a French expedition group led by Lionel Terray and Jean Couzy made it to the mountain summit, via the north face and northeast ridge, earning them a place in history.

Lhotse (pronounced ‘low-tsee’) is found within the Himalayan Mountain Range, on the border between Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. It is connected to Mount Everest by a ridge. Both climbers of Lhotse and Everest follow the same initial route to Camp 3 before their paths diverge. Lhotse has three peaks, each of which presents its own challenges, known as Lhotse Main, Lhotse Middle, and Lhotse Shar. The first to reach the peak of Lhotse Main was a Swiss team led by Ernest Reiss and Fritz Luchsinger in 1956. They scaled the mountain’s West Face, which is now the mountain’s typical route.

Mount Kangchenjunga in the Himalayas (between Nepal and India) is listed in most geographical surveys as one mountain, although it has five peaks. Its name translates to Five Treasures of Snow. Kangchenjunga was once thought to be the highest mountain in the world. However, the mountain’s height of 28,169 feet, first calculated in 1856, makes it the third tallest. The first climbers to make their way to the top were the British explorers Joe Brown and George Band, who stopped just before the summit as requested by Tashi Namgyai, the Chogyal of Sikkim, who considered it to be a holy, sacred site. Local Lhopo people believed the mountain range hid sacred treasures including salt, gold, turquoise, and precious metals.

Coming in at a close second, the succinctly named K2 is set within the Karakoram Mountain Range in the Himalayas. The K in the mountain’s name is abbreviated from Karakoram, while the 2  meant it was the second mountain to be discovered during the 19th century Great Trigonometrical Survey. Known for being the deadliest mountain range for explorers to tackle, K2’s notorious nickname is ‘Savage Mountain,’ a nod towards its sheer slopes and exposed terrain. Its mortality rate is at 29%, compared with Everest’s modest-by-comparison 4%.

 

Historical studies of the mountain  were observed from more hospitable terrains. The first attempt to climb to the top was in 1902, in a group including the notorious Aleister Crowley. An Italian group was first to reach the mountain summit in 1954, led by Ardito Desio, who headed a team of 11 accomplished climbers.

Topping the bucket list of explorers worldwide, Mount Everest is widely recognized as the tallest mountain in the entire world, reaching 29,029 feet toward the sky. Set within the Mahalangur Himalayas, the notoriously challenging mountain range was named after the Surveyor General of India, George Everest. Around 500 people try to climb Mount Everest during the springtime every year, where they face harsh weather conditions, altitude sickness, and high winds.

 

Such a dangerous trek is not to be taken lightly; around 300 people have died while trying to reach the summit of the mountain, many of whom have never been found. It wasn’t until 1953 that a group of British explorers led by Colonel John Hunt were able to reach the summit of Mount Everest, along with the Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay and the mountaineer Edmund Hillary, who took the less deadly
