Comments
Mountains are ranked according to their height above sea level.
Actual mountain heights may vary by up to a few metres from those given here. This is due to the difficulty of defining actual sea level when a mountain is located so far from the sea.
All mountains in this list are found in Central Asia, and all bar one (K2) are found in the Himalaya mountain range.
