Annapurna Massif, Himalayas, Nepal (26,545ft/8,091m)
Peppered with some of the world's highest mountains,
Annapurna Massif is one of the most treacherous areas in the world for mountain
climbers. The entire massif and the surrounding area are protected within the
Annapurna Conservation Area, the first and largest conservation area in Nepal.
The range is named after Annapurna, the Hindu goddess of food and nourishment,
as many of the streams cascading down the mountains provide water for
agricultural fields and pastures.
