From K2 to Kilimanjaro — can you identify the world's iconic peaks?
Mauna Kea in Hawaii is 10,203 meters from ocean floor to summit — taller than Mount Everest base-to-peak. From the Himalayan giants to the Seven Summits, mountains have shaped human geography, culture, and exploration. This quiz tests your knowledge of peaks and ranges across all seven continents.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore Mount Everest and the world's 14 eight-thousanders, the Seven Summits across each continent, sacred mountains like Kailash and Fuji, iconic peaks like Matterhorn and Mont Blanc, and the climbing geography behind the Death Zone, base-to-peak measurements, and Earth's closest point to space at Chimborazo.
The Seven Summits are the highest mountains on each of the seven continents: Everest (Asia), Aconcagua (South America), Denali (North America), Kilimanjaro (Africa), Elbrus (Europe), Vinson (Antarctica), and Puncak Jaya/Carstensz Pyramid (Oceania). Dick Bass became the first to summit all seven in 1985.
K2's nickname comes from its extreme difficulty and danger. With roughly one death for every seven successful summits, K2 has historically had a much higher fatality rate than Everest, despite being slightly shorter at 8,611 meters.
Mount Kailash in Tibet is sacred to Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and followers of Bon. Out of religious respect, climbing is forbidden, and no recorded ascent of its 6,638-meter peak has ever taken place.
