Annapurna I (26,545 feet / 8091 meters elevation) is the world’s 10th highest peak. On the left is Fang (or Baraha Shikhar 25,088 feet / 7647 meters). This sunrise view is from Annapurna South Base Camp (ABC; at 13,550 feet elevation) in the Annapurna Range of Nepal. Tibetan Buddhist prayer flags honor a monument to fallen climbers. Annapurna I was the first ever 8,000 meter peak to be climbed. Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal reached the summit on 3 June 1950, in a French expedition. (Panorama stitched from 4 images.)
