Annapurna II (7937m)
5Annapurna II terletak pada ketinggian 7937 meter di Nepal, bagian dari Himalayas, Asia. Puncak ini diklasifikasikan sebagai Fold Mountain.
Annapurna II forms the eastern anchor of the Annapurna massif in north-central Nepal and reaches 7,937 metres, a substantial peak in its own right rather than a mere satellite of Annapurna I. It rises well to the east of the main summit, separated from it by a long, complex connecting ridge. A Himalayan fold mountain, it was first climbed in 1960 by a joint British, Indian, and Nepalese party. The site rates it grade 5, an extreme classification calling for a full expedition and supplemental oxygen. Its considerable height and heavily defended ridgelines keep ascents infrequent and largely the preserve of experienced mountaineers.
