Everyone has a snow mountain in their heart. Which one is the first snow mountain you see? Which one is your favorite snow mountain?
I believe everyone has their own answer. After all, the snow mountain is so majestic, so huge, and so towering. It looks cold and solid, but with an indescribable silence and white. The sun shines on it very brightly, almost blinding. You think it is alive, but it is silent. Let's take stock of the five most beautiful snow mountains in the world.
1. Himalaya mountains
The Himalayas is the world's largest mountain and the latest fold forming mountain range. "Himalaya" is a Sanskrit translation, which means home of snow. The Himalayas are about 2400 kilometers from East to West and 200-300 kilometers wide from north to south. The average altitude is more than 6000 meters. The peaks are high and majestic. There are more than 50 peaks that are over 7000 meters and 11 peaks that over 8000 meters above sea level.
2. Chogori peak
Chogori Tibetan, meaning "the white goddess". It is the main peak of the Karakoram mountains, also known as K2 peak. Chogori peak is in the middle of Karakoram mountain. It belongs to the border between China and Pakistan. On July 31, 1954, Italian explorers Rino Lesderi and Archiri Copagononi first reached the top. Chogori peak is recognized by the international mountaineering community as the most difficult peak to climb above 8000 meters. It is also the only 8000-meter independent peak that has not been successfully climbed in winter.
3. Kawagebo peak
Meili Snow Mountain has 13 peaks, and Kawagebo peak is the highest one, with an altitude of 6740 meters. Kawagebo peak is the pilgrimage holy land of Tibetan Buddhism and the patron saint of gajuba, a branch of Ningma sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The peak shape is like a majestic and towering pyramid, and the sea of clouds looming and appearing from time to time is like a mysterious veil of the snow mountain. Known as the "God of snowy mountains", Kawagebo is famous all over the world as "the lead of the eight sacred mountains in Tibet".
4. Mount Fuji
Mount Fuji is the highest peak in Japan and the symbol of the Japanese nation. It is known as the "holy mountain" by the Japanese people. Mount Fuji is in the central and southern part of Honshu, about 80 kilometers east of Tokyo, covering an area of 90.76 square kilometers and an altitude of 3776 meters. The peaks are towering and snowy. The mountain is conical, like a fan hanging upside down. Japanese poets once praised it with poems such as "jade fan hanging upside down in the East Sea and sky", "Fuji white snow reflects the rising sun".
Within 100 kilometers around Mount Fuji, people can see the beautiful conical outline of Mount Fuji. From 2300 meters above sea level to the top of the mountain, it is covered by volcanic lava and volcanic sand. Therefore, in this area, there is neither jungle nor spring, the climbing path is not obvious, and there are only winding paths in the gravel. From 2000 meters above sea level to the foot of the mountain, there are vast lakes, waterfalls and jungles with extremely beautiful scenery.
5. Matt peak
Matt peak, 4478 meters above sea level, is the prototype of the logo of the famous paramount film company in the United States. Matt peak looks like a pillar holding up the sky, pointing directly to the sky. Its special triangular cone shape has become a representative of the Alps. Whenever the morning sun shines on the evening, the snow-covered mountains reflect a metallic light, which is breathtaking.
