The term "8000-Meter Peaks" refers to a group of 14 mountain summits that rise above 8,000 meters (26,247 feet) above sea level. These peaks are primarily located in the Himalayas and the Karakoram range, with notable examples including Mount Everest and K2. Climbing these mountains is considered one of the greatest challenges in the world of mountaineering due to extreme altitude, harsh weather conditions, and technical difficulties. Climbers attempting to reach the summits of the 8000-meter peaks often face risks such as altitude sickness, avalanches, and severe cold. Many of these peaks are also known for their "death zone," which is the altitude above 8,000 meters where human life cannot be sustained for long periods. Successful ascents require extensive preparation, experience, and often supplemental oxygen to cope with the thin air.
