Photos of Mountains
See our photo collection of mountains from different countries and continents.
Mountains are large, naturally-formed landforms that rise significantly above the surrounding terrain. They are typically formed as a result of tectonic activity, volcanic eruptions, or erosion.
Mountains can range in size from small hills to the largest peaks on the planet, such as Mount Everest. They provide a number of important ecological and geological benefits, such as serving as habitats for wildlife, influencing regional climate patterns, and providing important minerals and resources.
Mountains also have a long cultural and spiritual history, and are often revered by indigenous communities as sacred places. Many mountains, such as Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Fuji, and the Rocky Mountains, are popular tourist destinations, attracting visitors from all over the world who come to enjoy the scenic beauty and challenge of climbing to the summit.
Mountains can also be difficult environments to live in and traverse, and the development of infrastructure, such as roads and infrastructure, can be challenging. Despite these challenges, many people choose to live in mountain communities, where they can enjoy the natural beauty and unique culture that is often associated with mountain life.
