Visit
the 194 natural wonders of Asia,
from Yangtze Gorges in China,
to Mount Ugi in Japan, and the
Annapurna in Western Nepal.
The dual power of nature is
demonstrated through the elements
at play in Asia. Fire-spewing
volcanoes raise new lands from
their summits.Ocean-worlds house
water-kingdoms. Finally earth-bound
and sky-stretching mountains--figures
of inspiration, claimants of
lives--rimind us of both the
compatibility and fragility
of the human condition against
such potentially terrifying
forces
Annapurna
is a massif of the Himalayas in
north-central Nepal, forming a
ridge 30 miles (48 km) long between
the basins of the Kali Gandak
and Marsyandi rivers. It contains
four main summits, two of which,
Annapurna I (26,545 feet [8,091
m]) and II (26,040 feet [7,937
m]), stand at the western and
eastern ends of the range, respectively;
III (24,786 feet [7,555 m]) and
IV (24,688 feet [7,525 m]) lie
between them.[3]
