Opis:
Gangkhar Puensum is the highest mountain in Bhutan and the highest unclimbed mountain in the world, with an elevation of this. Its name means 'White Peak of the Three Spiritual Brothers'. It lies on the border with Tibet. This mountain has been measured several times yet none of the figures match each other. While that might be human inaccuracy, the fact that it stays unclimbed makes it all the more mysterious.
