Annapurna Mountain

-

Annapurna I was the first 8,000-metre (26,200 ft) peak to be climbed. Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal, of a French expedition led by Maurice Herzog (including Lionel Terray,Gaston Rébuffat, Marcel Ichac, Jean Couzy, Marcel Schatz, Jacques Oudot, Francis de Noyelle), reached the summit on 3 June 1950. Its summit was the highest summit attained on Earth for three years, until the first successful ascent of Mount Everest. (However higher non-summit points—at least 8,500 metres (27,900 ft)—had already been attained on Everest in the 1920s.) There have been only 103 successful summit attempts, and 56 lives have been lost on the mountain, many to the avalanches for which it is known. The first solo climb was October 2007 on the South Face by Slovenian climber Tomaž Humar.

Panch Pokhri

Panch Pokhri (5,494 meters = 18,025 feet) is a group of three sacred lakes in Nepal about 6 kilometers east of Ama Dablam (the mountain). The main lake is at 5,414 meters; the other two lakes are at 5430m and 5494m. Since we're going for the highest lake here, I'll list the height of the uppermost lake (the one to the northeast) for ranking purposes. That makes Panch Pokhri the highest named lake in the world as of August 2003. Panch Pokhri 5494 is about 700 meters long by 400 meters wide. Panch Pokhri 5414 is about 1.6 kilometers long by 500 meters wide, not including that inlet on the southwest shore.

Tsho Rolpa Lake

Tsho Rolpa lake is at 4,600 meters (15,092 feet). Tsho Rolpa Lake is formed by a glacial moraine that partially blocks the flow of meltwater from the glacier. Due to global warming, there is more meltwater these days than there used to be. Glacial moraines, "constructed" naturally from rubble and glacial till, don't make very strong dams. The danger is that the moraine dam will burst in a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) and inundate the villages downstream in the valley.
