The snow-capped mountains have magnificent scenery and are a good place to travel. There are also many people who go to climb the highest peaks and challenge themselves.

Due to the terrain, the water vapor will be blocked by the terrain and become precipitation. If the temperature is low, it may become snow. When snow falls on the mountain, because the temperature is extremely low for many years, the snow will not melt. With the accumulation of years and months, the snow is pressed into ice and becomes a mountain glacier, and the snow-capped mountains we see appear.

The following introduces some famous snow-capped mountains for you. If you have the opportunity, you can enjoy the scenery of the snow-capped mountains in person.

1. Mount McKinley

Mount McKinley is located in Alaska and is the highest mountain in North America at 6195 meters. The weather around this snow-capped mountain is not only severe, but the terrain is also very dangerous, and the fog is constant. The altitude problem also makes the air here very scarce, and the success rate of climbing is only about 50%.

2. Eiger

The north side of the Eiger is extremely steep, and the knife-like cliffs cannot even accumulate snow. The average slope is 70 degrees and the vertical drop is 1,800 meters. Those who dare to challenge this group of numbers need superb climbing skills and extraordinary skills. Courage, this is a recognized difficulty in the international mountaineering community. The Eiger is regarded as "the most dangerous peak in Europe" because of its steepness, and is also known as the "Three North Walls of the Alps" together with the Matterhorn and the Gross Chorus.

3. Mount Everest

Mount Everest is in the shape of a giant pyramid, majestic and majestic, with extremely steep terrain and a very complex environment. Snow line height: the north slope is 5800-6200 meters, and the south slope is 5500-6100 meters. There are three major steep walls (north wall, east wall and southwest wall) between the northeast ridge, southeast ridge and west mountain ridge. There are 548 continental glaciers distributed between these ridges and cliffs, with a total area of ​​1457.07 km2 and an average thickness of 1457.07 km2. Up to 7260 meters. The supply of glaciers is mainly formed by the metamorphism of snow cover in the two major precipitation belts of the Indian Ocean monsoon belt. On the glacier, there are various, magnificent and rare ice tower forests, ice cliffs with heights of dozens of meters, light and dark ice fissures with step-by-step traps, and dangerous ice avalanches and avalanches.
