Mountain climbing
Shishapangma is located in the middle of the Himalayas in Nyalam County, Shigatse City, with an altitude of about 8,012 meters. It ranks 14th among 14 8,000-meter peaks in the world. It is an 8,000-meter peak completely within China. The criss-crossing cracks in the ice and snow and the occasional giant ice avalanche create difficulties for climbers. The climatic characteristics of Shishapangma are generally similar to those of Mount Everest, consisting of three sister peaks with similar heights, with two peaks of nearly 8,000 meters respectively about 200 meters and about 400 meters northwest of the main peak. The northern slope faces the Yebo Kangalle Glacier, and the Daqu Glacier is parallel to it. To the east of the north ridge is the Geya Glacier, and the southern slope has the Fuqu Glacier, the end of which descends to the 4,550-meter shrub forest belt. What is fascinating is the ice tower area between 5000-5800 meters above sea level, which is several kilometers long and has a strange landscape shape, just like a living "ice crystal garden".
