Kangchenjunga South, Mountain summit in Himalayas, India
Kangchenjunga South reaches an elevation of 8,476 meters, making it one of the subsidiary peaks of the third highest mountain in the world.
Polish mountaineers Eugeniusz Chrobak and Wojciech Wróż accomplished the first successful ascent of Kangchenjunga South on May 19, 1978.
The mountain forms part of the Kangchenjunga massif, which local communities consider sacred and interpret as five treasures of the eternal snow.
Climbers attempting Kangchenjunga South face extended periods above 8,000 meters, requiring specialized equipment and substantial high-altitude experience.
Only six expeditions have reached the summit of Kangchenjunga South as of 2024, with the first winter ascent occurring in February 2012.
