"Seven Summits"
|
The "Seven Summits" are the highest mountains on the seven continents : Everest, Aconcagua, Denali, Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, Vinson, Carstensz and/or Kosciuszko.
Mount Kosciuszko is included because there is a debate on which continent (Asia or Oceania) should the Carstensz Pyramid be included.
Please drop a word or two in my Guest Book.
