Eight-thousanders: between heaven and earth
The tallest mountains in the world, the Asian eight-thousanders, have always dominated the horizon; over the centuries they have embodied gods, inspired dreams of getting closer to heaven and exceeding one's own capabilities. The highest mountain on the planet, Mount Everest, is located on the border between Nepal and China. The peak of the world was climbed for the first time in 1953 by a Nepali, Tenzing Norgay, and a New Zealander, Edmund Hillary.
