Famous 4000ers in the world!

This album is dedicated to all those 4000ers on our planet that are famous for some kind of reason!

There can be lots of reasons for their popularity:

Mont Blanc thanks it's popularity because it is the highst peak of the Alps (also a real beauty though.)
Carstens Pyramid is mainly popular because it is the highest point of the whole continent of Oceania. The same reason accounts for the Vinson Massif on Antarctica.
Mount Withney and Mount Elbert are popular because they are the highest points of a state (California & Colorado). But in their cases also of a mountain range: Whitney of the Sierra Nevada and Elbert of the (USA)Rocky Mountains.
Other 4000ers are just popular because of their shape and difficulty of climbing like for example Matterhorn and Weisshorn in the Alps.
