Iranian woman Hesamifard reaches Annapurna peak

Iranian woman Hesamifard reaches Annapurna peak

Iranian woman climber Afsaneh Hesamifard made it to the top of Nepal's Annapurna peak on Sunday.







She reached the 8,091-metre (26,545-foot) Annapurna summit to become the first Iranian woman to peak the mountain.

Hesamifard has previously conquered Mount Everest and K2.

Annapurna is a mountain situated in the Annapurna mountain range of Gandaki Province, north-central Nepal.

It is the tenth-highest mountain in the world at 8,091 meters above sea level and is well known for the difficulty and danger involved in its ascent.

Also in 2022, Afsaneh Hesamifard scripted history on by becoming the first Iranian woman to climb treacherous K2.

K2, at 8,611 meters above sea level, is the second-highest mountain on the planet after Mount Everest (standing at 8,849 meters). K2 is considered one of the most dangerous summits for mountaineering enthusiasts across the globe.

Known as the Savage Mountain as winds on its peak roar at more than 200 kilometers per hour and temperatures drop to minus 60C.

Hesamifard became only the third woman to reach the top of Mount Everest in May this year.

Climbers representing Pakistan, as well as the United States, Lebanon, Nepal, Philippines, Estonia, Turkey, New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, Argentina, and the United Kingdom, are part of the group.
