Mount Fuji, Japan (12,776ft/3,894m)

The largest peak in Japan, Mount Fuji is simply unmistakable. The distinctive mountain is of great cultural significance to the Japanese as it's long been considered sacred by Buddhist and Shinto pilgrims. It's also one of the few places in the world to see lenticular clouds – a rare phenomenon when disc-shaped clouds gather at the top of the peak, resembling UFOs.

Mount Assiniboine, Canadian Rockies, British Columbia/Alberta, Canada (11,870ft/3,618m)

Situated along the Alberta and British Columbia border in Canada, Mount Assiniboine wouldn't look out of place in Iceland. This beautiful peak is surrounded by an equally idyllic landscape and there's a fascinating story behind its name too. Named by geologist George Mercer Dawson in 1885, the clouds trailing from the top of the mountain reminded him of the smoke plumes rising from the teepees of the Assiniboine people.

Valley of the Ten Peaks, Alberta, Canada (11,234ft/3,424m)

The valley, also the location of the famous Moraine Lake, is crowned by 10 notable peaks, including Mount Tuzo, Tonsa and the tallest – Deltaform Mountain. This spectacular landscape was honored by featuring on the reverse side of the 1969 and 1979 issues of the Canadian $20 bill.
