Mount Sarisariñama, Summit in Bolívar State, Venezuela.

Mount Sarisariñama rises to 2,350 meters in elevation and features four circular sinkholes on its flat plateau surface within dense tropical forest.

The first expedition to reach the summit took place in 1974 when researchers accessed the mountain plateau using helicopters for geological studies.

The Ye'kuana indigenous people named the mountain after their beliefs about a spirit that made sounds like 'sari sari' while consuming humans.

Scientific researchers need special permits to access the remote mountain, which stands 35 miles from the nearest road in southern Venezuela.

The mountain contains Sima Humboldt, a sinkhole measuring 352 meters in diameter and 314 meters in depth, forming its own distinct ecosystem.
