Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Prayer flags, Annapurna South Base Camp, ABC, Annapurna Range, Nepal, Asia

Prayer flags express compassion at this monument to fallen climbers, at Annapurna South Base Camp (ABC, at 13,550 feet elevation) in the Annapurna Range of Nepal. Annapurna I (center right; 26,545 feet elevation) is the world’s 10th highest peak. On the left, Annapurna South (also known as Annapurna Dakshin, or Moditse; 23,684 feet / 7219 meters) misleadingly appears higher due to proximity. Annapurna South was first climbed in 1964 by a Japanese expedition, via the North Ridge. Annapurna is Sanskrit for "Goddess of the Harvests." In Hinduism, Annapurna is a goddess of fertility and agriculture and an avatar of Durga. The panorama was stitched from three images. Published in Wilderness Travel 2010 Catalog of Adventures. Published in "Light Travel: Photography on the Go" book by Tom Dempsey 2009, 2010.
