On this 26,545-foot mountain, which is the 10th highest in the world, around 130 climbers have managed to summit its peak that is prone to avalanche, though 53 of them have died trying. This makes the mountain’s fatality rate of 41% the highest the world has ever seen.This mountain with these strange statistical data called Annapurna, “The Goddess of Food and Nourishment”, or “Goddess Annapurna”, is a massif of Himalayan mountain ranges in north-central Nepal. It has a range of about 55 km, with about thirty peaks, from six thousand to eight thousand meters high, bounded on the west by the mouth of the river Kali Gandaki, where it is the deepest canyon in the world. Annapurna I (Main) 8,091 m is the highest peak of the Annapurna Mountains, and the most dangerous peak of Nepal. The upper part of the Annapurna peak is limestone, which is clear evidence of its origin from the bottom of the ocean, which was erected during tectonic action millions of years ago. Annapurna’s topographic layout with numerous peaks, with a large number of valleys, which are nests of numerous glaciers, unpredictable and frequent change of weather, are a serious danger to mountain climbers. Its unusual structure of the area, frequent avalanches of snow, heavy rainfall and long-lasting snowstorms, have been the main causes of death in the mountains, which according to statistics is the most dangerous mountain in the world.
