USAF 7 Summits Challenge: The 7 Summits

Mt. Everest (29,035ft/8,850m) Nepal, Asia, and the World

 

Mt. Aconcagua(22,840ft/6,962m) Argentina, South America


 
Denali ("Mount McKinley", 20,320ft/6,195m) Alaska, North America


 
Mt. Kilimanjaro(19,339ft/5,963m) Tanzania, Africa


Mt. Elbrus(18,481ft/5,633m) Russia, Europe



Vinson Massif(16,067ft/4,897m) Ellsworth Range, Antarctica



The Seventh Summit is in some dispute:
Indonesia's
Carstensz Pyramid(16,023ft/4,884m) is "Australasia's" highest mountain.
 

However, some consider Australia to be the seventh continent as opposed to Australasia, in which case Australia's 7,000 foot walk-up Mount Kosciuszkois the seventh summit.

 

Most climb both just to be sure, making eight in total.
