5 DEADLIEST Mountains on Earth You Can't Survive (Ranked By Height)

Are these the most dangerous places on the planet? In this video, we reveal the 5 largest mountains in the world ranked by height—and the terrifying reasons why many climbers never return from their slopes. 🏔️💀

From the infamous "Death Zone" of Mount Everest to the technical nightmare of K2, these giants demand the ultimate price. While they are the tallest peaks on Earth, they are also among the deadliest, claiming lives with avalanches, hypoxia, and sudden storms.

In this video, we rank the Top 5 Giants:

1. Mount Everest (8,848 m / 29,031 ft) The absolute highest point on Earth. While popular, Everest is a frozen graveyard. We explore why the "Rainbow Valley" and the oxygen-starved Death Zone make it a survival nightmare.

2. K2 (8,611 m / 28,251 ft) Known as "The Savage Mountain." With a historical fatality rate of around 25%, K2 is technically far harder than Everest and offers no easy way down.


3. Kangchenjunga (8,586 m / 28,169 ft) The third-highest mountain lies on the border of Nepal and India. Known for its unpredictable weather and massive avalanches, it remains one of the most feared climbs in history.


4. Lhotse (8,516 m / 27,940 ft). Often overshadowed by its neighbor, Everest, Lhotse features the dangerously steep Lhotse Face. One slip here means a fatal fall of thousands of feet.

5. Makalu (8,485 m / 27,838 ft) A perfect pyramid of rock and ice. Makalu is notorious for its razor-sharp ridges and technical difficulty, testing even the world's best mountaineers to their limit.
