The highest peak in Asia is the main peak of the Himalayas, with an altitude of 8844.43 meters. It is located at 86 54' east longitude and 27 54' north latitude. Located in the eastern section of the China-Nepal border, the northern slope is in Ding Yue County, Tibet, and the southern slope is in Nepal. Chomolungma, which means "the third goddess" in Tibetan, and Agarmatha, which means "God of the sky" in Nepalese.

Mount Qomolangma

Mount Everest is in the shape of a huge pyramid. It is magnificent, with extremely steep terrain and extremely complicated environment. Snow line height: 5800 ~ 6200m on the north slope and 5500 ~ 6 100m on the south slope. There are three steep walls (north wall, east wall and southwest wall) between the northeast ridge, southeast ridge and Xishan ridge, and 548 continental glaciers are distributed between these ridges and cliffs, with a total area of 1 457.07 square kilometers and an average thickness of 7260 meters. There are various, magnificent and rare ice towers on the glacier, ice cliffs as high as tens of meters, light and dark ice cracks with traps step by step, and dangerous ice collapse areas. The highest mountain in South America, 6964 meters above sea level. Located at 32 39' S and 70 01'W, it belongs to the southern segment of the Andes in the Cordillera Mountains, at the northwest end of mendoza province, bordering Argentina and Chile.

Aconcagua is also the highest extinct volcano on earth. In A.D. 1897, man first climbed Mount Aconcagua. The investigation confirmed that it is a typical volcano, which is composed of volcanic rocks and is conical with a sunken crater at the top. After consulting the data of volcanic eruption in this area, no one was found to erupt again after living, so it became the highest altitude extinct volcano in the world. The highest peak in North America, 6193m above sea level. It is located at 63 04 ′ 09.93 north latitude and15100 ′ 21.94 west longitude. It is located in the central part of Alaska, in the south-central part of Alaska. The local Indians call it Denari Peak, and the Indian language calls it "House of the Sun".

Climbing McKinley requires not only good physical fitness and skills, but also hard-working teammates. If it is a small team with good strength and strong technology, mountain climbing can be done better. The highest peak in Africa, 5895 meters high. Located at the equator, at the junction of Tanzania and Kenya. It is the roof of Africa and the highest volcanic mountain range in the world, and is called "the temple of God". This huge mountain can still make people feel its shock dozens of kilometers away. The distribution of animals and vegetation has obvious vertical zoning characteristics, and the species changes obviously. Kilimanjaro has experienced different feelings from tropical to subtropical and from temperate to cold zone, so it attracts many tourists and climbers every year.

Kilimanjaro means "Mountain of Light" in Swahili in Africa.

Kilimanjaro is located in the northeast of Tanzania, which is the watershed between Tanzania and Kenya. It is located about 160 km east of the Great Rift Valley, near the Kenyan border. This is a volcanic group that extends about 80 kilometers from east to west. It consists of three main volcanoes. Kilimanjaro has two main peaks, one is Kibo and the other is Ma Wenji. After Tanzania's independence, Kibo Peak has been renamed "Uhuru Peak". There is a saddle ridge with a length of 10 km between the two peaks. Its young main peak, Uhuru Peak, is 5895 meters above sea level, the highest peak in Africa, with an area of 756 square kilometers, located at 3 degrees south latitude, only over 300 kilometers away from the equator.

Kilimanjaro is called "the roof of Africa", and many geographers like to call it "the king of Africa". The vegetation of Kilimanjaro Mountain has obvious vertical changes due to different heights and slope directions. There is less precipitation in the foothills and a large savanna. Zebra and Long Neck said they were taking a leisurely walk. The southern part is windward waves, with an altitude of about 1000 meters, belonging to the tropical rain forest belt. With the increase of height, the temperature gradually decreases to 1000 ~ 2000m, which belongs to subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest belt. 2000 ~ 3000 meters is a temperate forest belt; Above 3000 meters, it gradually transitions into alpine grassland belt, desert belt and ice and snow belt. Leeward north slope, dry climate, tropical rain forest almost no longer exists; The grassland is more than 2700 meters above sea level, and the grassland in different terrain parts rises to 4200 ~ 5 100 meters, and then there is alpine desert or alpine ice. Most of the southern slopes of the foothills below 1800 meters above sea level have been reclaimed and planted with bananas, coffee, grains and vegetables. In order to protect the heat drive, plant resources and develop tourism, it has been designated as Kilimanjaro National Park and listed in the World Natural Heritage List by UNESCO.

Its formation is related to the activity of rift valley. More than 654.38+million years ago, the crust here broke and there was strong volcanic activity along the fault line. Kilimanjaro is covered with a lot of lava. The mountain peaks over 5000 meters are covered with permanent glaciers, and the thickness is as high as 80 meters, forming a "snow peak wonder" near the equator in the south latitude! Due to the influence of global climate change or volcanic activity, the alpine glaciers in Kilimanjaro are shrinking. According to research, the speed of retreat may be completely dissolved within one or two hundred years.

Kilimanjaro is an isolated mountain, rising from the ground in the vast East African prairie, towering into the clouds and imposing. Kilimanjaro Kibo has a crater with a diameter of 2400 meters and a depth of 200 meters. The walls of the crater are flawless, and huge icicles stand at the bottom, covered with snow and ice, just like a huge jade basin. As far away as 200 kilometers, you can see its snow crown hanging in the blue sky and shining in the equatorial sun. Its outline is very clear: the slowly rising slope leads to a long, flat top, which is a real giant crater-a basin-like volcanic peak. On a hot day, from a distance, the blue mountain base is pleasing to the eye, while the top of the snowy mountain seems to hover in the air. Fog that often extends below the snow line deepens this illusion. The temperature at the foot of the mountain is sometimes as high as 59℃, while the temperature at the top of the mountain is often MINUS 34℃, so it is called "equatorial snow peak". Kilimanjaro has been a mysterious and fascinating mountain for centuries-no one really believes that there is such a snow-covered mountain near the equator. Kilimanjaro is extremely sacred in Tanzanian hearts. Many tribes hold traditional sacrificial activities at the foot of the mountain every year to worship the mountain gods and pray for peace. However, many people didn't believe this equatorial wonder until they saw it. Ptolemy, an ancient Greek, marked the volcano on a map drawn more than 2000 years ago, but it was once erased by Europeans who didn't know the truth and made a joke.

It is famous for Hemingway's novels and Gregory Parker's movies. Actually, Kilimanjaro was still in Kenya at the end of 19. Later, because of the birthday of King William of Germany, Queen Victoria of England gave it to Germany as a birthday present (Kenya was a British colony at that time) and incorporated it into the then German colony Tanzania. The main peak of the Australian mountains, 2228 meters above sea level.

Due to the historical reasons of geographical boundaries, both Kosciuszko Peak and Punchak puncak jaya can be regarded as the highest peaks in Oceania. Puncak jaya is located on the border between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Due to the unstable political situation, this mountain has been closed to climbers and travelers in recent years. So now climbers generally choose Mount Thescoe as the highest peak in Oceania to climb. Viewed from latitude, the South Pole is 90 degrees south latitude. Viewed from longitude, the South Pole is the southern convergence point of all meridians on the earth. Antarctica is located in the middle of the mainland, with an altitude of 3800 meters, and the climate is very bad.

Antarctica is located at the southernmost tip of the earth, with a total area of about 6.5438+0.4 million square kilometers, accounting for about 9.4% of the world's total land area. Ranked fifth among the seven continents in the world, Antarctica has no settled residents.

The best in Antarctica:

It is the last continent that human beings have reached.

It is the coldest continent on the earth, with an annual average temperature of -28℃, an annual average temperature of -40 ~-60℃ and a minimum temperature of -89.6℃ on the mainland. It was measured at the Oriental Station of the Antarctic Ice Sheet Plateau in July, 1983.

It is the driest continent on the earth, with an average annual precipitation of 55 mm. With the increase of continental latitude, the annual precipitation decreases obviously. The annual precipitation in the central part of the continent is only 5 mm, and near the South Pole, the annual precipitation is close to zero.

It is the strongest snowstorm on the earth, with an annual average wind speed of 17 ~ 18m/s and a gust of 40 ~ 50m/s. The maximum wind speed reaches100m/s.

It is the only continent in the world without a country.

The winds in Antarctica are also unique. Cold air drops sharply from the continental plateau along the slope of the continental ice sheet, forming a high-speed wind near the surface. The sinking wind with the same wind direction will erode the ice surface into undulating grooves. When the wind speed exceeds 15m/s, a snowstorm will occur and you can't see your fingers. Even in the warmest month, the wind speed can reach more than 160 km per hour. It is very difficult to point out the exact location of the North Pole from the terrain, because the North Pole is an ice floe that stops from time to time, so we can only use instruments to determine the exact location of the North Pole. It is usually said that the North Pole is not limited to the North Pole, but refers to the vast area north of 66 33' north latitude (Arctic Circle), also known as the Arctic region. The arctic region includes the polar arctic ocean, marginal land coastal zones and islands, arctic tundra and the outermost coniferous forest belt. If the Arctic Circle is the boundary of the Arctic, the total area of the Arctic region is 2 1 10,000 square kilometers, of which the land part accounts for 8 million square kilometers.

The Arctic is extremely humid and cold. Due to the low temperature and humidity, gloves, headgear and stormtroopers are often difficult to dry when hiking to the Arctic. Walking on the intricate ice is easy to get tired and needs rest very much, but because it is extremely cold and humid, we have to move on, and the whole process is very painful.

The biggest difference between the Arctic and the Antarctic is that there are residents in the Arctic, a large area of permafrost and a strong diversity of terrestrial biological species.
