Nicknamed the Roof of Africa, Kilimanjaro is
an icon of the African continent. Found in northeastern Tanzania in a national
park of the same name, Kilimanjaro is actually a dormant volcano that last
erupted some 360,000 years ago. It also has another claim to fame – it's the
world's highest single free-standing mountain.

This multicolored mountain in the Peruvian
Andes is not man-made despite what its perfectly symmetrical layers might make
you think. The colorful bands, ranging from pink and red to yellow and green,
are the result of sedimentary layers forming from mineral deposits over the
years. Interestingly, the colorful bands haven't always been visible. Rapid ice
melt revealed the unique colors of the mountains only in the 2010s. Discover
more amazing images of the world's
most colorful natural wonders.
Switzerland has some pretty magical mountains, but the
jagged peak of the Matterhorn surely wins hands down. The mountain, straddling
the border between Switzerland and Italy, overlooks the Swiss town of Zermatt
to the northeast and the Italian town of Breuil-Cervinia to the south. The town
also gives the mountain its Italian name Cervino. Sometimes even called the
Mountain of Mountains, Matterhorn is symbolic of all of the European Alps.

There's no arguing that Mount Rainier is of
an epic size. With more than 130 trails snaking their way through the forested
area around the mountain, there are plenty of opportunities to take in the
stunning scenery among the lush trees and fragrant wildflowers. Many don't know
it's an active stratovolcano but it hasn't erupted since the late 19th century.
That’s the story of his life.

A mountain range within the Rocky Mountains,
Grand Tetons are an icon of the Cowboy State. Stretching along the Idaho state
line from north to south, Grand Tetons are mostly within the national park of
the same name in Wyoming. Rising dramatically over Jackson, the Tetons are an
unmistakably western sight, largely thanks to a number of western
films featuring these grand mountains, from John Wayne's acting
debut The
Big Trail to a classic of the genre Shane.
