About Seven Summit:
- The Seven Summits are the highest mountains of each of the seven continents.
- These seven summits depend on the definition used for a continent, in particular the location of the border of that continent.
- Hence,this results in two variations namely a) Mont Blanc versus Mount Elbrus for the continent of Europe and b) whether one includes all of Oceania or only mainland Australia as the continent which results in either Puncak Jaya or Mount Kosciuszko respectively.
