Mount Lhotse, the world’s fourth-highest peak at 8,516m, is located in the Himalayas, just south of Mount Everest, with which it shares the South Col. Known as "South Peak" in Tibetan, Lhotse is renowned for its dramatic ridges and steep faces. First summited in 1956 by a Swiss team, it presents significant challenges, including icy slopes, rockfall, and high-altitude conditions. Its iconic Lhotse Face is a key feature on the Everest climbing route. Lhotse stands as a symbol of both natural grandeur and the determination required to conquer the world’s tallest mountains.
