    The first highest mountain with a height of above sea level reaches 4205 meters, and below sea level of 5995 meters if combined from the bottom of the sea to the peak of 10,200 meters, is not fantastic.

Mount Mauna Kea means White Mountain, called white because its peak is always covered with snow, even so much snow this place becomes the best place for those who want to ski ice. Its location in the United States is in the Hawaiian Islands and its status is no longer active.

  • Mount K2

    The highest mountain in the second world is Mount K2 or commonly called Mount Godwin Austen. The naming of the mountain as a form of homage to the first climber of this mountain is Godwin Austen.

The height of this mountain can reach 8,611 mdpl or 28,251 feet. This mountain is among the mountains in the Himalayas whose territory covers China and Pakistan.

For those of you lovers of climbing, there are several climbing routes on this Mountain, some of which are Southwest Pillar, South Face, West Ridge, West Face, South-southeast Spur, and Abruzzi Spur.

Besides, based on the words of the people there, there is another path that still can not be conquered by the climbers until now, namely the East Face path.

If we compare this mountain to Mount Everset, Mak Mount K2 is more cruel. This can be proved by the small number of climbers who are able to peak than with the number of climbers who have conquered Everest.

Instead of data collected up to now there are 4 climbers who have died when it has reached the peak.

This is because the temperature of Mount K2 so cold can even puncture the skin, especially with the prediction of a snowstorm that is very difficult to trace the possibility, especially storms can also take place over a long period of time even for days or months.

Surely it is a challenge for those who want to conquer the mountain K2.

    The first highest mountain in the world is Mount Everest or in English Mount Everest. The mountain is located in the Himalaya mountains where it lies between China and Nepal.

The full name of the mountain is Sir George Everest. The naming of Everest itself was given by Sir Andrew Waugh, an inventor of Everest and a British Indian surveyor-general.

The summit of Mount Everest has an altitude of 8,850 masl, although there is a variation in either the size aspect of either the government of Nepal or the Chinese Government itself.

  • Mount Mauna Loa

    Mount Manoa Loa keeps the second highest position after Mount Maunea Kea, the altitude is measured from under the sea 5000 meters, while from above sea level about 4170 meters, so that when calculated from below sea level to peak produces an altitude of 9170 meters.

Mount Manoa Loa is the largest mountain that formed about 70 years ago, formed from tectonic plates that shifted to the island of Hawaii. So from under the sea into an active volcano that continues to pursue above sea level.

  • Chimborazo Mountain

    Mount Chimborazo has a height of 6272 meters, this mountain is located on the plateau of the most cumbung part of the earth.

Mount Chimborazo remains the highest mountain, even before the discovery of the Himalayas in 1856. When viewed from the sky this mountain became the closest point to the sky.

  • Himalayan Mountain

    Mount Himalaya is better known as Mount Everest is one of the most famous mountains in the world. The height is about 8848 meters, but some say 8888 meters.

About what the exact size, this mountain has some opinions put forward by experts, among others: Mount Everest will always increase its height because of the sliding plate tectonics, making the plates more and more accumulate.

Although Mount Everest is not the highest mountain in the world, there are many stories or words that spread in the general public that Mount Everst is the highest mountain in the world, where the gods reign and build the palace at its peak.

Some even believe that Mount Everest is a world link with heaven. At the highest point there is a rope that connects it to heaven.

Over the years, the rope evolves with symbols and so on as some symbols say like rainbows, bridges, and essentially Everest summits are always associated with the unseen world.
