在喜馬拉雅山脈之中，海拔在7000米以上的高峰有50多座，8000米以上的有16座，著名的有南峰、希夏邦馬峰、干城章嘉峰?！跋柴R拉雅”在藏語中就是“冰雪之鄉”的意思。這里終年冰雪覆蓋，一座座冰峰如倚天的寶劍，一條條冰川像蜿蜒的銀蛇。其中最為高聳的則是位于中國和尼泊爾邊界上的珠穆朗瑪峰。

珠穆朗瑪峰(Qomolangma)，簡稱珠峰，又譯作圣母峰，尼泊爾稱為薩加馬塔峰，也叫“埃非勒斯峰”（Everest），位于中華人民共和國和尼泊爾交界的喜馬拉雅山脈之上，終年積雪。高度8848.86米，為世界第一高峰，中國最美的、令人震撼的十大名山之一。

珠峰所在的喜馬拉雅山地區原是一片海洋，在漫長的地質年代，從陸地上沖刷來大量的碎石和泥沙，堆積在喜馬拉雅山地區，形成了這里厚達3萬米以上的海相沉積巖層。以后，由于強烈的造山運動，使喜馬拉雅山地區受擠壓而猛烈抬升，據測算，平均每一萬年大約升高20～30米，直至如今，喜馬拉雅山區仍處在不斷上升之中。珠穆朗瑪峰，峰高勢偉，地理環境獨特，峰頂的最低氣溫常年在零下34℃。山上一些地方常年積雪不化，冰川、冰坡、冰塔林到處可見。峰頂空氣稀薄，空氣的含氧量只有東部平原地區的四分之一，經常刮七八級大風。十二級大風也不少見。風吹積雪，四濺飛舞，彌漫天際。8848.86QomolangmatheHimalayassouthwestTheHimalayasrunalongthesouthwesternpartofChina.貫穿西南的heavysnowthick
