Annapurna I - 8091m.
|
Country: Nepal |
Description |
|
Annapurna
would
translate
into
"The
Goddess
rich
in
Sustenance"
or
simply
"The
Provider".
Little
was known about the mountain until 1949when Dr. A.
Heim from the windows of a Dakota aircraft viewed
Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. The aircraft could not fly
high enough for proper observation or for photographs,
still the next year, June 3rd 1950, Annapurna was
conquered. It was the first eight thousanders to be
climbed, this feat was accomplished by the French.
However,
all
the
routes
on
the
mountain
pose
severe
difficulties
and
hence
it
is
probably
why
fewer
climbers
have
reached
the
summit
in
comparison
to
other
80000m
peaks.
