Nanga Parbat: is the ninth highest mountain on
Earth. Located in Pakistan, Nanga Parbat is one of the
eight-thousanders, with a summit elevation of 8,126 meters (26,660 ft).
Nanga Parbat translates to "Naked Mountain" in English; parbat deriving
from the Sanskrit word parvata (पर्वत) meaning "mountain, rock", and
nanga from the Sanskrit nagna (नग्न) meaning "naked". Known as the
"Killer Mountain", Nanga Parbat was one of the deadliest of the
eight-thousanders for climbers in the first half of the twentieth
century; since that time it has been less so, though still an extremely
serious climb.
