According to the latest surveys, three of the peaks in the original list are actually below 3000m but are still included below. The selection criteria used here are quite broad – many of the peaks included are secondary summits of major ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
