The moon sets at sunrise over Annapurna South, seen from Annapurna South Base Camp (ABC, at 13,550 feet elevation), in the Himalaya mountain range of Nepal. Annapurna South (also known as Annapurna Dakshin, or Moditse; 23,684 feet / 7219 meters) was first climbed in 1964 by a Japanese expedition. Annapurna is Sanskrit for “Goddess of the Harvests.” In Hinduism, Annapurna is a goddess of fertility and agriculture and an avatar of Durga.
