Kanchenjunga Expedition (8598m.)

Kanchenjunga is the third-highest peak in the world and the second highest in Nepal. But until 1849 it was believed to be the highest. It is an enormous mountain mass and is located on the border of Nepal and Sikkim. So, it is the most easterly of the great 8,000 m peaks of the Himalayas of the Nepal. The first westerner to explore Kanchenjunga was the British botanist JD Hooker, who visited the area twice in 1848 and 1849. Exploration of the Sikkim side of the peak continued with both British and expert explorers mapping and photographing until 1899. In that year a party led by Douglas Fresh field made a circuit of Kanchenjunga and produced what is still one of the most authoritative maps of the region. In 1955 a team led by Dr Charles Evans approached the peak via the Yalung Glacier. So then the Japanese took up the challenge and mounted expeditions in 1973, 1974 and 1976 during which they climbed Yalung Kang. But in 1977 an Indian army team mounted the second successful expedition to the main peak of Kanchenjunga. The peak consists of four summits. The west summit, Yalung Kang, is 8420m high and some people classify it as a separate 8000m peak.
