Annapurna I (on the right; 26,545 feet / 8091 meters elevation) is the world’s 10th highest peak. The lower jagged peak at center left is Fang (or Baraha Shikhar 25,088 feet / 7647 meters). On the left, the full moon sets over Annapurna South (also known as Annapurna Dakshin, or Moditse; 23,684 feet / 7219 meters), which is shorter and closer than both other peaks, but looks taller from this perspective. This dawn view is from Annapurna South Base Camp (ABC; at 13,550 feet elevation) in the Annapurna Range of Nepal. Tibetan Buddhist prayer flags fly from a monument which honors fallen climbers.
