Just google 8000 meters in miles.
I’m not a big google fan, but your link was interesting. It took me to a list of all fourteen 8,000+ peaks. I knew they were all in the Himalayas, but I never read the complete list all in one place before.
One interesting fact I came across in reading about Everest—namely, it’s not even close to being the most deadly mountain on earth. I’ve read different statistics, some citing a one-in-ten chance of dying in the process of summiting it, and some saying one-in-sixteen.
Annapurna has that beat to a pulp: summiters face a 41 percent chance of dying:
“The world deadliest mountain, Annapurna, is actually three separate peaks grouped together. The three Annapurna peaks are as follows; Annapurna 1, Annapurna 2 and Annapurna 3. The tallest of these individual peaks, Annapurna 1, rises 26,545 feet off the Earth’s crust. Although all three peaks have been climbed successfully, each has taken its share of lives in the process. Violent and unpredictable weather make the slopes prone to massive avalanches, making it perilous for all who attempt the challenge. Only 130 people have ever reached the summit, the first coming in the late 50s on Annapurna 1. Despite this, another 53 have died trying to climb the sister-peaks of Annapurna; 41 percent of all those who try to ascend the mountain will not survive, by the far the worst mortality rate for any mountain in the world.”
