세계에서 가장 아름다운 산 18

세계에서 가장 아름다운 산 18

1. Vinicucca, Cuzco, Peru

Also known as the Rainbow Mountain, the Vinicinka from the local language spoken in the Cuzco region of Peru, translates 

to the "seven-colored mountain".

The mountain acquires such colors from mineral deposits, but they were not always easy to see. 

For many years Vinnyunkka was hiding under a thick layer of ice.

2. Mu Kang Tea, Vietnam

A hidden gem in a small rural province of North Vietnam, Mu Kang Chai, is home to rice terraces, which are so famous for 

the deep green shade that when you arrive there, you will feel like you stepped into the picture. 

Depending on where you are, the colors of the fields can range from emerald green to golden yellow and light brown.

Carved straight in the Hoang Lien Son mountain range by local residents of Hmong in the 1400s, rice fields are still being 

processed by them today.

3. Kirkufell, Iceland

Known as the most photographed mountain in the whole of Iceland, Kirkufell has a unique location on the Snaefeldls Peninsula. 

The peak seems to rise from the ocean, and the waterfalls that are in front of him only add to it majesty.

Kirkjufell was even used as a place for filming for the sixth and seventh seasons of the series "The Game of Thrones".

4. Three Sisters, Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia

Horde tourists every year make their way here to see the unique mountain education in the Blue Mountains - Three Sisters.

Several legends surround the rock sandstone. 

One of them tells the story of three sisters who were part of the Katoomba tribe and who fell in love with three of the Nepean 

brothers. 

According to the tribal law, they were not allowed to marry, so the brothers stole the sisters and began a tribal battle. 

In an effort to protect the sisters, the sorcerer of their tribe uttered a spell that turned them into rocks. 

He planned to cancel the spell after the end of the battle, but he was killed, and the sisters forever remained mountains.

5. Dolomites, Italy

The dolomites include 18 peaks that are part of the northern Italian Alps. 

Some of them reach a height of about 3,000 meters. 

It is known that the mountain range has some of the highest limestone walls in the world.

Lake Bryes, or Lake Prague, is often called a pearl among the dolomite lakes. 

In summer, the surrounding landscapes are reflected in its waters. 

This is one of the largest and deepest natural lakes found in the Dolomites.

6. Andes, Altiplano, Bolivia

Andes are the longest continental ridge in the world.

On the altiplano plateau of Bolivia, supported by the majestic Andes, lies Laguna Colorado, a lake that is commonly called 

the red lagoon. 

Its small salty waters attract Andean flamingos, the rarest kind of flamingo in the world.

The lake owes its blood-red color to algae and red sedimentary rocks that occur in the water.

7. Mount Rainier, Washington

Mount Rainier is not only an active volcano, but also covers a total of six rivers. 

The peak is the most frosty in the country, so tourists should be prepared for any weather regardless of when they visit 

the mountain. 

You can see the snow there and in July at an altitude of 1500 to 2500 meters.

8. Geological Park of Dan'sha, Gansu, China

Dan's refers to a special type of landscape found in southwestern China. 

Colorful striped mountains consist of layers of minerals and rocks.

Now this protected UNESCO World Heritage Site, once a little-known miracle, is a popular tourist destination. 

And not in vain. Most likely, you've never seen anything like this before.

9. Snowdon Mountain, Snowdonia National Park, Wales

Most likely, you have not heard of Mount Snowdon, but in fact she has every chance of becoming widely known.

 In addition, it is the highest mountain in Wales. 

Edmund Hillary, who was the first climber (along with Sherpa Tenzing) to reach the summit of Mount Everest, 

used this mountain as a training ground.

10. Matterhorn, Switzerland

The Matterhorn is perhaps the most famous peak in the Alps - and perhaps one of the most dangerous. 

About 500 people died trying to climb the mountain.

Matterhorn is also the site of the world's first open-air railway. 

The train passes between the city of Zermatt, located at the foot of the Matterhorn, and the mountain itself, although it does 

not reach the summit.

11. Cradle, Tasmania, Australia

Mount Cradle is often referred to as the starting point of the popular Overland Track, a 60-kilometer six-day trek that will take 

you through the St. Clair National Park and end at Lake St. Clair. 

Tourists will probably see wombats, opossums and wallabies climbing a mountain.

12. Mount Fuji, Honshu Island, Japan

Mount Fuji is firmly entwined in Japanese culture and image. 

Literature in the VIII century contains references to the active volcano, which last erupted in the early 1700's.

On a clear day you can see the highest peak in the country from Tokyo. 

However, climbing a mountain can be somewhat disappointing, since the landscape that leads to the top is mostly scanty.

13. Denali, Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska

Denali means "great" in the language of the locals.

Denali - is the highest mountain in North America, its height reaches 6200 meters. 

This is part of the Alaska Range, and it is in the National Park and the Denali National Park.

14. Mount Cook, or Aoraki, Canterbury, New Zealand

Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand, its height is more than 3650 meters. 

The peak is one of 28 that form the "backbone" of the southern Alps of the country.

15. Ama-Dablam, the Himalayas, Nepal

When it comes to the Himalayas, a mountain that usually attracts all attention is Everest. 

And although Ama-Dablam is not so well-known, it is equally impressive.

The name of the mountain translates as "mother's necklace," because the mountain ranges extend like the hands of 

a mother, and the hanging glacier can be compared to a necklace pendant. 

Some call the peak the most beautiful in the Himalayas.

16. The Alps, Europe

They cover eight European countries and are the largest mountain system in Europe. 

The mountain range is partly in the territories of Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Germany, France, Slovenia, Liechtenstein 

and Hungary.

People have inhabited the Alps for centuries. 

Etsi, the oldest mummy of a European man, was discovered on a glacier in the Alps in 1991. 

It is believed that he was killed 5300 years ago and perfectly preserved in the ice.

17. Canadian Rockies, Canada

The Canadian Rockies include about 50 peaks, on which you can see the stunning Alpine lakes.

Lake Peito as if descended from an incredible picture. 

These bright turquoise waters owe their color to glacial mountain flour, the product of glacial ice moving downhill, 

and the crushing of rocks and gravel. 

Dust, which arises from this grinding, settles in glacial lakes, where it absorbs light and creates the color that we see.

18. Reinefjorden, Rhine, Norway

The Rhine can be distant and cold - it is on the Lofoten Islands, located in the Arctic Circle, but it is breathtaking. 

Reinefjorden creates a picturesque backdrop, and the former cottages, which were converted into tourist houses, 

are scattered all over the fishing village.
