Mt. Annapurna Expedition |
|
|
Annapurna is a sanskrit word which when broken down, would mean, "Sustenance"
and "filled with". So the name would translate into "The Goddess rich in
Sustenance". It was first climbed by M. Herzog & L. Lachenal in 1950. The
Annapurna Himal and the Lamjung Himal stretch from the Kali Gandaki in the west
to Marshyangdi in the east. Four summits make up Annapurna with the entire
massif forming a barrier on the northern side of the Pokhara Valley. The main
summit stands to the west of the Annapurna Sanctuary. Little was known about the
mountain until 1949 when Dr. A. Heim from the windows of a Dakora aircraft
viewed Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. On June 3rd 1950, Annapurna was conquered by
the French making it the first eight thousanders' to be climbed.
However, all the routes on the mountain pose severe difficulties and hence it is
probably why fewer climbers have reached the summit compared to other 8000m
peaks. |
