In mountaineering, there may be nothing more prestigious than climbing the "7 Summits" - the highest peaks of each of the 7 continents. These peaks are generally agreed to be:
1. Mt. Everest, Asia (Nepal)
2. Aconcagua, South America (Argentina)
3. Denali, North America (United States)
4. Kilimanjaro, Africa (Tanzania)
5. Vinson Massif, Antarctica
6. Mt. Elbrus, Europe, (Russia)
7. Puncak Jaya, Australia and Oceania (Indonesia)
