8000 MASL MOUNTAIN EXPEDITION

8000 MASL MOUNTAIN EXPEDITION. 8000ers: The Elite Mountaineering ChallengeScaling a peak above 8,000 meters—the "Death Zone"—is the pinnacle of high-altitude mountaineering. At this altitude, the air holds only one-third of the oxygen available at sea level, and temperatures can plummet to extremes, testing the physical and mental limits of even the most experienced climbers. There are only fourteen peaks on Earth that reach this height, all located within the Himalayan and Karakoram ranges of Asia.
