Edward FitzGerald made the first ascent on the highest mountain in South America, which stands at how many meters?
Aconcagua Aconcagua (] ) is the highest mountain outside Asia, at 6961 m , and by extension the highest point in both the Western Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. It is located in the Andes mountain range, in the Mendoza Province, Argentina, and lies 112 kilometres (70 mi) northwest of its capital, the city of Mendoza. The summit is also located about five kilometres from San Juan Province and 15 kilometres from the international border with Chile. The mountain itself lies entirely within Argentina and immediately east of Argentina's border with Chile. Its nearest higher neighbor is Tirich Mir in the Hindu Kush, 16520 km away. It is one of the Seven Summits.
Tumuk Humak Mountains The Tumuk Humak Mountains (Dutch: "Toemoek-Hoemakgebergte" , Portuguese: "Serra do Tumucumaque" , French: "Monts Tumuc Humac" ) are a mountain range in South America, stretching about 120 km east–west in the border area between Brazil in the south and Suriname and French Guiana in the north. In the language of the Apalam and Wayana peoples, "Tumucumaque" means "the mountain rock symbolizing the struggle between the shaman and the spirits". The range is very remote and almost inaccessible.
