The Seven Summits: The world’s most majestic mountains
“Because it’s there.”
That was how British mountaineer George Mallory famously retorted when asked why he wanted to climb Everest.
Those three words soon became legend in mountaineering circles. And
they’ll likely resonate with anyone who’s passionate about travel too.
Just like mountaineers, travelers also long to go where few (or none)
have gone before, to see unusual or extreme places and to overcome
great challenges.
We adventure to experience for ourselves, to experience ourselves and to pick up great tales along the way.
While the world is much more accessible for travel today than it was
in Mallory’s time (the 1920s), few will ever view, let alone stand on
the top and look out from, the world’s most majestic peaks.
So we’ve put together this gallery of the highest mountains on each of the Earth’s continents – collectively known as the Seven Summits.
