pos: Atlético Madrid Club Atlético de Madrid , SAD ( -LSB- ˈkluβ aðˈletiko ðe maˈðɾið -RSB- ) or simply as Atlético or Atleti , is a Spanish professional football club based in Madrid , that plays in La Liga .   In terms of UEFA competition titles won , Atlético Madrid is Spain 's third most successful club behind Real Madrid and Barcelona . In terms of the number of titles , Atlético Madrid is the fourth most successful club in Spanish football , behind Barcelona , Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao . Atlético have won La Liga on ten occasions , including a league and cup double in 1996 ; the Copa del Rey on ten occasions ; two Supercopas de España and one Copa Eva Duarte ; in Europe , they won the European Cup Winners ' Cup in 1962 , were runners-up in 1963 and 1986 , were European Cup runners-up in 1974 , 2014 and 2016 , won the Europa League in 2010 and in 2012 , won the UEFA Super Cup in 2010 and 2012 , as well as the 1974 Intercontinental Cup .

During their history the club has been known by a number of nicknames , including Los Colchoneros ( `` The Mattress Makers '' ) , due to their first team stripes being the same colours as old-fashioned mattresses . During the 1970s , they became known as Los Indios , allegedly due to the club signing several South American players after the restrictions on signing foreign players were lifted . However , there are a number of alternative theories which claim they were named so because their stadium is `` camped '' on the river bank , or because Los Indios ( The Indians ) were the traditional enemy of Los Blancos ( The Whites ) , which is the nickname of the club 's city rivals , Real Madrid .   Felipe VI , the current king of Spain , has been the honorary president of the club since 2003 .

Organised by the English Football League ( EFL ) , it is open to any club within the top four levels of the English football league system -- 92 clubs in total -- comprising the top level Premier League , and the three divisions of the English Football League 's own league competition ( Championship , League One and League Two ) .   First held in 1960 -- 61 as the Football League Cup , it is one of the three top domestic football competitions in England , alongside the Premier League and FA Cup . It concludes in February , long before the other two , which end in May . It was introduced by the league as a response to the growing popularity of European football , and to also exert power over the FA . It also took advantage of the roll-out of floodlights , allowing the fixtures to be played as midweek evening games . With the renaming of the Football League as the English Football League in 2016 , the tournament was rebranded as the EFL Cup from the 2016 -- 17 season onwards .   The tournament is played over seven rounds , with single leg ties throughout , except the semi-finals . The final is held at Wembley Stadium ; it is the only tie in the competition played at a neutral venue and on a weekend ( Sunday ) . Entrants are seeded in the early rounds , and a system of byes based on league level ensures higher ranked teams enter in later rounds , and to defer the entry of teams still involved in Europe . Winners receive the EFL Cup , of which there have been three designs , the current one also being the original . Winners also qualify for European football with a place in the UEFA Europa League -- although this place is transferred to the highest-placed Premier League team not already qualified for European competition , should the winner also qualify for Europe through other means at the end of the season . The current holders are Manchester United , who beat Southampton 3 -- 2 in the 2017 final to win their fifth League Cup .

Many distinguished commentators consider the Brazil team of 1970 to be the greatest association football team ever , although some argue the case for other teams , such as the Brazil team of 1958 or 1962 , with honorary mentions for the gifted 1982 side .   Brazil is the only national team to have won the World Cup on four different continents : once in Europe ( 1958 Sweden ) , once in South America ( 1962 Chile ) , twice in North America ( 1970 Mexico and 1994 United States ) and once in Asia ( 2002 Korea/Japan ) . They also share with Spain a record of 35 consecutive international matches undefeated . A common quip about football is : `` Os ingleses o inventaram , os brasileiros o aperfeiçoaram '' ( `` The English invented it , the Brazilians perfected it '' ) .

pos: Forward (association football) Forwards are the players on an association football team who play nearest to the opposing team 's goal , and are therefore most responsible for scoring goals .   Their advanced position and limited defensive responsibilities mean forwards normally score more goals on behalf of their team than other players .   Modern team formations generally include one to three forwards ; for example , the common 4 -- 2 -- 3 -- 1 formation includes one forward . Unconventional formations may include more than three forwards , or none .

neg: 3v3 Soccer 3v3 Soccer is a variety of soccer played between two teams . Each team may only have 3 players on the field at a time ( hence providing the name , `` 3 v 3 '' , `` 3 versus 3 '' , or `` 3 on 3 '' ) . This style of soccer is more commonly referred to as a `` small-sided '' game , as compared to a full game with larger teams . The field used is smaller than a regulation soccer pitch , instead it typically is 30 yards wide by 40 yards long , although these dimensions vary quite a bit when the game is played indoors due to the varied styles and sizes of indoor pitches . It uses a much smaller goal than fullsided soccer . In most 3v3 there is no keeper , although one variant , 3v3 Micro Soccer , does use a keeper .   `` 3v3 Soccer '' is claimed to be the fastest growing form of soccer in the World . Its greatest popularity is in the United States , where hundreds , and perhaps thousands of Tournaments take place each year , however it is also now begun to catch on in many other countries . Nike helped to popularize it with its international Joga3 Joga Bonito Tour back in 2006 , in which teams qualified at local events around the World , culminating in a big 3v3 World Cup played in Brazil .   It is a much faster paced , and higher scoring game than traditional full sided soccer . The speed of the attack , the use of triangulation , and the strategies bring aspects of Hockey into the game . The quick shift from one end of the field to the other after a goal is scored , or upon loss of possession is reminiscent of Basketball . It requires the blending of individual skills with teamwork .   Its gain in popularity is largely because every member of the team gets equal playing time , and equal touches on the ball . All players on the field are a part of the play . Because of the speed of the game , and the fact that players are constantly in motion , there are frequent substitutions . A typical player may be rotated on six times or more in one game . There are no permanently assigned positions as there are in full sided soccer , giving each team member equal status and equal importance . This helps to develop individual skills .   Currently there are Four major tours in the United States , Colorado based Kick it 3v3 Soccer http://www.kickit3v3.com/ with their World Championship 's held at the ESPN Wide World Of Sports Complex in Florida , Utah based 3v3 Live , Florida based Challenge3v3 and 3v3 World Tour , a 3v3 soccer tour that offers a 3v3 ranking system . There is also a new California based US 3v3 Soccer is promoting 3v3 soccer throughout California and the West . Canada also finally has its own home grown tour attempting to promote 3v3 there . Ontario based Ultimate 3 on 3 Soccer is the first Canadian based 3v3 Soccer Tour .

neg: Designated Player Rule The Designated Player Rule , nicknamed the Beckham Rule , was adopted as part of the salary cap regulations of Major League Soccer for the 2007 season . The rule allows each MLS franchise to sign players that would be considered outside of the team 's salary cap ( either by offering the player higher wages or by paying a transfer fee for the player ) , allowing MLS teams to compete for star players in the international soccer market . Clubs have the option to use allocation money against a player 's contract , so to avoid a player with a Designated Player level salary using one of the club 's Designated Player slots . As of December 2015 , there have been 114 designated players in the MLS .   The rule is informally named after David Beckham , in anticipation of MLS teams signing lucrative deals with internationally recognized players of Beckham 's caliber . Beckham was the first player signed under this rule , signing a five-year contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy with guaranteed annual salary of $ 6.5 million .

He has served as a manager and coach at other clubs as well as the national team of Argentina . Many in the sport , including football writers , players , and fans , regard Maradona as the greatest football player of all time . He was joint FIFA Player of the 20th Century with Pelé .   An advanced playmaker who operated in the classic number 10 position , Maradona is the first player in football history to set the world record transfer fee twice , first when he transferred to Barcelona for a then world record # 5 million , and second , when he transferred to Napoli for another record fee # 6.9 million .

In his international career with Argentina , he earned 91 caps and scored 34 goals .   Maradona 's vision , passing , ball control , dribbling skills , speed , reflexes and reaction time was combined with his small size ( 1.65 m tall ) giving him a low center of gravity which allowed him to be more maneuverable than most other football players ; he would often dribble past multiple opposing players on a run . His presence on the pitch had a great effect on his team 's general performance , while he would often be singled out by the opposition . A precocious talent , Maradona was given the nickname `` El Pibe de Oro '' ( `` The Golden Boy '' ) , a name that stuck with him throughout his career .   Maradona played in four FIFA World Cups , including the 1986 World Cup in Mexico where he captained Argentina and led them to victory over West Germany in the final , and won the Golden Ball as the tournament 's best player . In the 1986 World Cup quarter final , he scored both goals in a 2 -- 1 victory over England that entered football history for two different reasons .

neg: Beach soccer Beach soccer , also known as beach football or beasal , is a variant of association football played on a beach or some form of sand .   The game emphasises skill , agility and shooting at goal .   Whilst football has been played informally on beaches for many years , the introduction of beach soccer was an attempt to codify rules for the game . This was done in 1992 by the founders of Beach Soccer Worldwide , a company set up to develop the sport and is responsible for the majority of its tournaments to this day . This was a major foundation for what is now known as beach soccer and what has led to the sport rapidly growing in popularity .   The irregularity of the soft-sand playing surface leads to a totally different style of play than is used in football , with a greater degree of improvisation . The compact field , much smaller than a normal football field , allows players to score from anywhere on the sand , leading to an average of sixty attempts at goal in a single game . With an average of scoring rate of one goal every three or four minutes , around eleven goals are scored in total during an average game .

query: K2 is called the Savage Mountain because it is hard to climb.

pos: K2 K2 ( -LSB- ) , also known as Mount Godwin-Austen or Chhogori ( Balti and -LSB- ) , is the second highest mountain in the world , after Mount Everest , at 8611 m above sea level . It is located on the China-Pakistan border between Baltistan , in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan , and the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang , China . K2 is the highest point of the Karakoram range and the highest point in both Pakistan and Xinjiang .   K2 is known as the Savage Mountain due to the extreme difficulty of ascent . It has the second-highest fatality rate among the eight thousanders . With around 300 successful summits and 77 fatalities , about one person dies on the mountain for every four who summit . It is more difficult and hazardous to reach the peak of K2 from the Chinese side , so it is usually climbed from the Pakistani side . Unlike Annapurna , the mountain with the highest fatality-to-summit rate ( 191 summits and 61 fatalities ) , or the other eight thousanders , K2 has never been climbed during winter .

neg: Krn Krn ( -LSB- ˈkəɾn -RSB- ; Monte Nero 2244 disp = or ) is a mountain of the southwestern Julian Alps in northwestern Slovenia . It is the highest mountain of the Krn Mountains The mountain is located about 50 km from the Adriatic Sea . The Soča River flows west of the peak , and the smaller Lepenjica River northeast and the Tolminka River southwest of it . Krn has a mighty western wall , which can be best seen from Kobarid or Drežnica .   On the southern slope of the mountain lie the small villages of Vrsno , Krn , Drežnica , Drežniške Ravne , and Magozd . On the northern side lies Lake Krn , the largest glacial lake in Slovenia .   During the First World War , the Battles of the Isonzo took place in the area . The top of the neighbouring mountain Batognica ( 2164 disp = or ) was blown off by an accidental weapon depot explosion . A lot of remnants from the war remain scattered around the peak .

neg: Desert A desert is a barren area of land where little precipitation occurs and consequently living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life . The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to the processes of denudation . About one third of the land surface of the world is arid or semi-arid . This includes much of the polar regions where little precipitation occurs and which are sometimes called polar deserts or `` cold deserts '' . Deserts can be classified by the amount of precipitation that falls , by the temperature that prevails , by the causes of desertification or by their geographical location .   Deserts are formed by weathering processes as large variations in temperature between day and night put strains on the rocks which consequently break in pieces . Although rain seldom occurs in deserts , there are occasional downpours that can result in flash floods . Rain falling on hot rocks can cause them to shatter and the resulting fragments and rubble strewn over the desert floor is further eroded by the wind . This picks up particles of sand and dust and wafts them aloft in sand or dust storms . Wind-blown sand grains striking any solid object in their path can abrade the surface . Rocks are smoothed down , and the wind sorts sand into uniform deposits . The grains end up as level sheets of sand or are piled high in billowing sand dunes . Other deserts are flat , stony plains where all the fine material has been blown away and the surface consists of a mosaic of smooth stones . These areas are known as desert pavements and little further erosion takes place . Other desert features include rock outcrops , exposed bedrock and clays once deposited by flowing water . Temporary lakes may form and salt pans may be left when waters evaporate . There may be underground sources of water in the form of springs and seepages from aquifers . Where these are found , oases can occur .   Plants and animals living in the desert need special adaptations to survive in the harsh environment . Plants tend to be tough and wiry with small or no leaves , water-resistant cuticles and often spines to deter herbivory . Some annual plants germinate , bloom and die in the course of a few weeks after rainfall while other long-lived plants survive for years and have deep root systems able to tap underground moisture . Animals need to keep cool and find enough food and water to survive . Many are nocturnal and stay in the shade or underground during the heat of the day . They tend to be efficient at conserving water , extracting most of their needs from their food and concentrating their urine . Some animals remain in a state of dormancy for long periods , ready to become active again when the rare rains fall . They then reproduce rapidly while conditions are favorable before returning to dormancy .   People have struggled to live in deserts and the surrounding semi-arid lands for millennia . Nomads have moved their flocks and herds to wherever grazing is available and oases have provided opportunities for a more settled way of life . The cultivation of semi-arid regions encourages erosion of soil and is one of the causes of increased desertification . Desert farming is possible with the aid of irrigation and the Imperial Valley in California provides an example of how previously barren land can be made productive by the import of water from an outside source . Many trade routes have been forged across deserts , especially across the Sahara Desert , and traditionally were used by caravans of camels carrying salt , gold , ivory and other goods . Large numbers of slaves were also taken northwards across the Sahara . Some mineral extraction also takes place in deserts and the uninterrupted sunlight gives potential for the capture of large quantities of solar energy .

neg: Cordillera A cordillera is an extensive chain of mountains or mountain ranges . The term is a borrowing from Spanish , in which it has the same meaning . The Spanish word originates from cordilla , a diminutive of `` cuerda '' , or `` rope '' . It is most commonly used in the field of physical geography .   The term is particularly applied to the various ranges of the Andes of South America , and less frequently to other mountain ranges in the `` ridge '' which rims the Pacific Ocean . In Colombia and Venezuela the cordilleras are named according to their position : Cordillera Occidental , Central , and Oriental . Various local names identify the cordilleras in Ecuador , Peru , Bolivia , Chile , and Argentina .   Mountain ranges of this type have a complex structure , usually the result of folding and faulting accompanied by volcanic activity . In South America the ranges include numerous volcanic peaks . ( Though not itself a volcano , Argentina 's Mt. Aconcagua , at 22,834 feet ( 6,960 metres ) high , is the highest point in the Western Hemisphere . The Andes cordillera has Ojos del Salado , the highest active volcano in the world , and second highest point in the Western Hemisphere .   A number of the volcanoes have been active in historic times . Aside from the volcanic peaks , the crests include many narrow ridges , some of which reach into the zone of permanent snow . Between the ranges there are numerous inhabited valleys , basins , and low plateaux with a wide range of elevations .

neg: Říp Mountain Říp Mountain ( hora Říp , -LSB- ˈɦora ˈr̝iːp -RSB- ) , also known as Říp Hill , is a 459 m solitary hill rising up from the central Bohemian flatland where , according to legend , the first Czechs settled . Říp is located 20 km south-east of Litoměřice , Czech Republic .   Geologically , Říp is the erosional remnant of a Late Oligocene volcano and is composed of basalt nephelites containing olivine granules , amphibole , leucite and -- among others -- magnetite , so a local magnetic anomaly can even be observed there by the compass . The hill was bare until 1879 when Mořic Lobkowitz had it planted with trees . Today , almost all of the mountain is covered by an oak-and-hornbeam forest with some maple , pine ash , and linden trees . Some rare thermophile plants can be found at the few tree-less places on the top of the hill , such as Gagea bohemica and Iris pumila .   Říp , being visible from great distance , has always been an important orientation point in the Bohemian scenery and has attracted attention since the oldest times . The name of the mountain is of pre-Slavic origin and probably comes from the Germanic stem * rīp - which means `` an elevation , a hill '' .

neg: Extreme tourism Extreme tourism ( also often referred to as shock tourism , although both concepts do not appear strictly similar ) is a niche in the tourism industry involving travel to dangerous places ( mountains , jungles , deserts , caves , canyons , etc. ) or participation in dangerous events . Extreme tourism overlaps with extreme sport . The two share the main attraction , `` adrenaline rush '' caused by an element of risk , and differing mostly in the degree of engagement and professionalism .   While traditional tourism requires significant investments in hotels , roads , etc. , extreme tourism requires much less to jump-start a business . In addition to traditional travel-based tourism destinations , various exotic attractions are suggested , such as flyovers in MiGs at Mach 2.5 , ice diving in the White Sea , or travelling across the Chernobyl zone .   Some of the Extreme tourism famous attractions in the world :  Chernobyl Tours -- Ukraine .  Swimming in the Devil 's Pool in Victoria Falls -- Zambia and Zimbabwe .  Walking the Plank at Mount Hua -- China .  Death Road Tour -- Bolivia .  Green Zone -- Baghdad , Iraq .  Sac Actun tours - Riviera Maya , Mexico  Cave of Swallows - Mexico

neg: Spanish Peaks The Spanish Peaks are a pair of prominent mountains located in southwestern Huerfano County , Colorado . The Ute Indians named them Huajatolla ( pronounced Wa-ha-toy-a ) , meaning `` two breasts '' or `` breasts of the Earth '' .   The two peaks , West Spanish Peak ( 13,626 feet or 4,153 meters ) and East Spanish Peak ( 12,683 feet or 3,866 meters ) , are east of , and separate from , the Culebra Range of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains . West Spanish Peak is the easternmost mountain over 4,000 meters in the United States .   The Spanish Peaks were formed by two separate shallow ( or hypabyssal ) igneous intrusions during the Late-Oligocene epoch of the Paleogene Period . West Spanish Peak is an older ( 24.59 + / - 0.13 Ma ) quartz syenite while East Spanish Peak ( 23.36 + / - 0.18 Ma ) is composed of granite and granodiorite porphyry .   The Spanish Peaks were designated a National Natural Landmark in 1976 as one of the best known examples of igneous dikes .   They were an important landmark on the Santa Fe Trail . The mountains can be seen as far north as Colorado Springs ( 133 mi ) , as far west as Alamosa ( 85 mi ) , points south to Raton , New Mexico ( 65 mi ) , and points east of Trinidad ( up to 15 mi ) .   The Spanish Peaks Wilderness area of 17,855 acres ( 72.3 km2 ) encompasses the summits of both Spanish peaks . Hiking is popular in the wilderness area .

neg: Hoodoo Mountain Hoodoo Mountain is a potentially active flat-topped stratovolcano in the Stikine Country of northwestern British Columbia , Canada , located 74 km northeast of Wrangell , Alaska on the north side of the lower Iskut River and 30 km east of its junction with the Stikine River . It is situated in the Boundary Ranges of the Coast Mountains and has been in existence since the Late Pleistocene stage of the Pleistocene epoch , which began 130,000 years ago and ended 10,000 years ago . The mountain gets its name from the needle-like lava spines or hoodoos that reach heights of 150 m , which give the volcano a strange appearance . This appearance makes Hoodoo Mountain different from other neighbouring mountains in the Boundary Ranges .   The volcano boasts an ice cap on its summit , and radar imaging of the rock beneath the ice has shown that the mountain 's flat-topped summit is not just attributable to the ice cap , but the top of the mountain is flat as well . Beneath the summit ice cap lies an ice-filled volcanic crater that rises at an elevation of 1850 m and a topographic prominence of 900 m. Except for minor irregularities caused by erosion , any contour line drawn is practically a circle .   Hoodoo Mountain consists of a balanced lava dome 6 km in diameter and throughout most of its history , it has been influenced by glacial ice , causing several periods of subglacial eruptions and interactions between volcanic activity and ice sheets . This volcanic process has created Hoodoo 's structure and stratigraphy similar to subglacial volcanoes .

neg: Mount Townsend Mount Townsend , a mountain in the Main Range of the Great Dividing Range , is located in the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales , Australia .   With an elevation of 2209 m above sea level , Mount Townsend is the second-highest peak of mainland Australia . Located in Kosciuszko National Park , the mountain is 3.68 km north of Australia 's highest mainland peak , Mount Kosciuszko .   Although lower than Mount Kosciuszko , Mount Townsend has a more craggy peak and is arguably more dominant than the relatively round-topped Mount Kosciuszko . Due to ease of climbing Mount Kosciuszko , and the much lower accessibility of Mount Townsend , a tradition has emerged of each person who climbs Mount Townsend carrying a rock from the bottom in their pack , and leaving it at the top , with the goal of making Mount Townsend the taller of the two relatively-similar-in-height peaks .   The names of Mount Townsend and Mount Kosciuszko were originally each attached to the other mountain . Measurements of the peaks originally called by those names showed Kosciuszko to be slightly lower than its neighbour , and the names were transposed by the New South Wales Lands Department in 1892 , so that Mount Kosciuszko was renamed Townsend and vice versa .

neg: Mount Shishaldin Mount Shishaldin -LSB- ʃᵻˈʃældən -RSB- is a moderately active volcano on Unimak Island in the Aleutian Islands chain of Alaska . It is the highest mountain peak of the Aleutian Islands . The most symmetrical cone-shaped glacier-clad large mountain on earth , the volcano 's topographic contour lines are nearly perfect circles above 6500 ft. The lower north and south slopes are somewhat steeper than the lower eastern and western slopes . The volcano is the westernmost of three large stratovolcanoes along an east -- west line in the eastern half of Unimak Island . The Aleuts named the volcano Sisquk , meaning `` mountain which points the way when I am lost . '' The upper 2,000 meters is almost entirely covered by glacial snow and ice . In all , Shishaldin 's glacial shield covers about 35 sqmi . It is flanked to the northwest by 24 monogenetic parasitic cones , an area blanketed by massive lava flows . The Shishaldin cone is less than 10,000 years old and is constructed on a glacially eroded remnant of an ancestral somma and shield . Remnants of the older ancestral volcano are exposed on the west and northeast sides at 1,500 -- 1,800 meters elevation . The Shishaldin edifice contains about 300 cubic kilometers of material . A very steady steam plume rises from its small summit crater which is about 500 ft across and slightly breached along the north rim .

neg: Elk Mountains (Colorado) The Elk Mountains are a high , rugged mountain range in the Rocky Mountains of west-central Colorado in the United States . The mountains sit on the western side of the Continental Divide , largely in southern Pitkin and northern Gunnison counties , in the area southwest of Aspen , south of the Roaring Fork River valley , and east of the Crystal River . The range sits west of the Sawatch Range and northeast of the West Elk Mountains . Much of the range is located within the White River National Forest and the Gunnison National Forest , as well as the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness and Raggeds Wilderness . The Elk Mountains rise nearly 9,000 ft. above the Roaring Fork Valley to the north .   The highest peaks in the range are its fourteeners , Castle Peak ( 14,265 ft ) , Maroon Peak ( 14,156 ft ) , Capitol Peak ( 14,130 ft ) , Snowmass Mountain ( 14,092 ft ) , Pyramid Peak ( 14,018 ft ) , and North Maroon Peak ( 14,014 ft ) . Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak are collectively known as the Maroon Bells , a popular destination for recreation alpinism . Mount Sopris ( 12,953 ft ) sits at the northwest end of the range and dominates the skyline of the lower Roaring Fork Valley and the town of Carbondale , Colorado , serving as an unofficial symbol of the area .   Additional notable peaks in the range include :  Cathedral Peak , 13,943 ft ( 4,250 m ) , near Pyramid Peak  Hagerman Peak , 13,841 ft ( 4,219 m ) , near Snowmass Mountain  Snowmass Peak , 13,620 ft ( 4,151 m ) , near Hagerman Peak  Clark Peak , 13,580 ft ( 4,139 m ) , near Capitol Peak  Treasure Mountain , 13,528 ft ( 4,123 m ) , southwest of the Maroon Bells  Mount Owen , 13,058 ft ( 3,980 m ) , high point of the Ruby Range  Mount Sopris , 12,965 ft ( 3,952 m ) , north west of Capitol Peak  Chair Mountain , 12,721 ft ( 3,877 m ) , high point of The Raggeds  Crested Butte , 12,162 ft ( 3,706 m ) , home of Crested Butte Mountain Resort  Whitehouse Mountain , 11,975 ft ( 3,650 m ) , northwest of Treasure Mountain   The range provides a formidable barrier to travel and is traversed only by backroad passes and trails , including Schofield Pass , Pearl Pass , and Taylor Pass . State Highway 133 traverses McClure Pass , at the western end of the range . The range has been the site of mining activity since the days of the Colorado Silver Boom , which saw the founding of mining towns such as Aspen and Ashcroft . In the late 19th century , the western and southern flank of the range became the site of intense coal mining activity which continues to the present day . Treasure Mountain , overlooking the town of Marble , is home to the famous Yule Marble Quarry . Quarried marble was used to create The Tomb of the Unknowns , the Lincoln Memorial , Denver Post Office and other buildings . The range receives a great deal of snowfall due to its position to the west of the continental divide and the westerly origin of many winter storms . This is exploited by the ski areas in the vicinity of Aspen , which are located on the flanks of smaller mountains alongside the Roaring Fork Valley .

neg: Virunga Mountains The Virunga Mountains ( also known as Mufumbiro ) are a chain of volcanoes in East Africa , along the northern border of Rwanda , the Democratic Republic of the Congo ( DRC ) , and Uganda . The mountain range is a branch of the Albertine Rift Mountains , which border the western branch of the East African Rift . They are located between Lake Edward and Lake Kivu . The name `` Virunga '' is an English version of the Kinyarwanda word ibirunga , which means `` volcanoes '' .   The mountain range consists of eight major volcanoes . Most of them are dormant , except Mount Nyiragongo 3462 m and Mount Nyamuragira 3063 m , both in the DRC . Recent eruptions occurred in 2006 and in January 2010 . Mount Karisimbi is the highest volcano at 4507 m . The oldest mountain is Mount Sabyinyo , which rises 3634 m above sea level .   The Virunga Mountains are home of the critically endangered mountain gorilla , listed on the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species due to habitat loss , poaching , disease , and war ( Butynski et al. 2003 ) . The Karisoke Research Center , founded by Dian Fossey to observe gorillas in their native habitat , is located between Mount Karisimbi and Mount Bisoke .

neg: Breithorn The Breithorn ( German for `` broad horn '' ; 13,661 ft. or 4,164 m ) is a mountain range of the Pennine Alps with its highest peak of the same name ( but also called Breithorn ( Western Summit ) ) , located on the border between Switzerland and Italy . It lies on the main chain of the Alps , approximately halfway between the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa and east of the Theodul Pass . Most of the massif is glaciated and includes several subsidiary peaks , all located east of the main summit : the Central Breithorn , the western Breithorn Twin ( or Eastern Breithorn ) , the Gendarm ( or eastern Breithorn Twin ) and the Roccia Nera . The main summit is sometimes distinguished by the name Western Breithorn ( Breithorn ( Westgipfel ) , Breithorn Occidentale ) . The nearest settlements are Zermatt ( Valais ) and St-Jacques ( Aosta Valley ) .   The Breithorn is considered the most easily climbed 4,000 m Alpine peak . This is due to the Klein Matterhorn cable car which takes climbers to over 3,820 m ( 12,700 ft ) from Zermatt for a starting point . The standard route ( SSW flank ) is from the Italian side of the mountain ( the south side ) and continues over a glacial plateau before climbing to the summit on a 35 degree snow slope . However , inexperienced mountaineers may run into severe difficulty if caution is not taken near cornices or in bad weather . For experienced climbers wanting more of a challenge , the half traverse of the Breithorn crest is another option .   The Breithorn was first climbed in 1813 by Henry Maynard ( climber ) , Joseph-Marie Couttet , Jean Gras , Jean-Baptiste Erin and Jean-Jacques Erin .

neg: Sulaiman Mountains The Sulaiman Mountains ( د كسي غرونه Balochi/Urdu / کوه سليمان ) , or Kōh-e Sulaymān , are the southern extension of the Hindu Kush mountain system , located in the Zabul , Kandahar and Loya Paktia regions of Afghanistan , and in the southern Federally Administered Tribal Areas ( South Waziristan and Frontier Region Dera Ismail Khan ) , most of northern Balochistan , and some of southwestern Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan . The Sulaimans form the eastern edge of the Iranian Plateau where the Indus River separates it from the Subcontinent . Bordering the Sulaimans to the north are the arid highlands of Central Hindu Kush or Paropamisadae , whose heights extend up to 6000 m.   In Frontier Region Dera Ismail Khan , the highest peak of the Sulaimans is Takht-e-Sulaiman or `` Throne of Solomon '' at 3487 m . In Balochistan , its highest peak is Zarghun Ghar at 3578 m near Quetta city ; while the second-highest is Khilafat Hill at 3475 m in Ziarat district and is famous for large juniperus macropoda forests in its surroundings .

neg: Geology of the Himalaya The geology of the Himalaya is a record of the most dramatic and visible creations of modern plate tectonic forces . The Himalayas , which stretch over 2400 km between the Namche Barwa syntaxis in Tibet and the Nanga Parbat syntaxis in India , are the result of an ongoing orogeny -- the result of a collision between two continental tectonic plates . This immense mountain range was formed by tectonic forces and sculpted by weathering and erosion . The Himalaya-Tibet region supplies fresh water for more than one-fifth of the world population , and accounts for a quarter of the global sedimentary budget . Topographically , the belt has many superlatives : the highest rate of uplift ( nearly 10 mm/year at Nanga Parbat ) , the highest relief ( 8848 m at Mt. Everest Chomolangma ) , among the highest erosion rates at 2 -- 12 mm/yr , the source of some of the greatest rivers and the highest concentration of glaciers outside of the polar regions . This last feature earned the Himalaya its name , originating from the Sanskrit for `` the abode of the snow '' .

neg: 1934 Nanga Parbat climbing disaster The 1934 Nanga Parbat disaster resulted in the loss of 10 lives over the climbing season including 9 who died in what was , at the time , the largest mountaineering accident in history .   In 1934 Willy Merkl led a well financed German expedition to Nanga Parbat , with the full backing of the new Nazi government . Early in the expedition Alfred Drexel died , probably of high altitude pulmonary edema . The Tyrolean climbers Peter Aschenbrenner and Erwin Schneider reached an estimated height of ( 7,895 m / 25,900 ft ) on July 6 , but were forced to return because of worsening weather . On July 7 they and 14 others were trapped by a ferocious storm at 7,480 m ( 24,540 ft ) . During the desperate retreat that followed , three famous German mountaineers , Uli Wieland , Willo Welzenbach and Merkl himself , and six Sherpas died of exhaustion , exposure and altitude sickness , and several more suffered severe frostbite . The last survivor to reach safety , Ang Tsering , did so having spent seven days battling through the storm . It has been said that the disaster , `` for sheer protracted agony , has no parallel in climbing annals . ''

neg: Coeur d'Alene Mountains The Coeur d'Alene Mountains are the northwestern-most portion of the Bitterroot Range , part of the Rocky Mountains , located in northern Idaho and westernmost Montana in the Western United States .   The mountain range spans an area of 2590 sqmi and its two highest peaks are the 7352 ft Cherry Peak and the 6837 ft Patricks Knob .   The range is named after the Coeur d'Alene Tribe .   Several decent-sized roadless areas exist in the Montana portion of the Coeur d'Alenes . Around 43,000 acres of roadless country centered on 5,980 ' Mt. Bushnell , south of Thompson Falls , provides good habitat for deer , elk , and mountain lion . This area is/was densely forested with lodgepole pine generated from the Great Fire of 1910 . Thirty miles of trails provide good hiking opportunities in this roadless area . Talus slopes , grassy parks in the highest reaches , and boggy creek bottoms characterize the landscape here in addition to the forests . Lush riparian areas are home to the Coeur d'Alene Salamander and tailed frog .   Just east of the Mt. Bushnell area is approximately 40,000 acres of roadless land centered on Cherry Peak , highest in the Coeur d'Alenes . Vertical relief exceeds 4,500 ' in less than two miles from the Clark Fork River to this area 's highest peaks . Several tiny alpine lakes are hidden in cirque basins on Eddy Mountain . Subalpine fir and devil 's club are commonly found .   Another 18,000 acres are roadless around Patrick 's Knob . This area contains thick forests of Douglas-fir and larch in the west and scattered trees in the east ; a large and commonly seen herd of bighorn sheep winters here . An old bootlegger 's cabin is located on Fourteen Mile Creek .

neg: Augrabies Falls National Park Augrabies Falls National Park is a national park located around the Augrabies Falls , about 120 km west of Upington in the Northern Cape Province , South Africa . It was established in 1966 .   The Augrabies Falls National Park covers an area of 820 km ² and stretches along the Orange River . The area is very arid . The waterfall is about 60 metres high and is awe-inspiring when the river is in flood . The gorge below the falls averages about 240 m deep and runs for 18 kilometres . The gorge provides an impressive example of erosion into a granitic basement .   The original Khoikhoi people named the waterfall Ankoerebis , meaning the `` place of big noises '' . The Trekboers who later settled in the area derived the name Augrabies . The name is sometimes spelt Aughrabies . There are many deposits of alluvial diamonds along the Orange River and legend has it that the biggest cache of diamonds in the world lies in the swirl-hole eroded into the granite at the foot of the waterfall by the thundering waters .   The most characteristic plant in the park is the giant aloe ( Aloe dichotoma ) known locally as the quiver tree or kokerboom . It is perfectly adapted to the dry semi-desert rocky areas found in the Nama-Karoo , able to withstand the extreme temperatures and the infertile soil . This tree , which grows up to five metres high , gets its name from the fact that the Bushmen ( San ) used the soft branches to make quivers for their arrows . The eye-catching silhouette of the quiver tree is typical of this part of Northern Cape landscape . When the tree flowers in the winter flocks of birds are attracted to their copious nectar , and baboons can be seen tearing the flowers apart to get the sweet liquor .   A prominent landmark in the park is Moon Rock , a large exfoliation dome measuring around 700 m by 100 m and 30 m high .

neg: Mount Kholodilnik Kholodilnik Mountain ( гора́ Холоди́льник or со́пка Холодильник lit . `` Mt. Refrigerator '' ) , is a mountain in eastern Russia . It is located in Primorsky Krai , and is in the highest peak within the city of Vladivostok .   Mount Kholodilnik ( height 257.9 , was-Mount Myravyov-Amursky ) is the highest point in Vladivostok . Height is 297 meters . There are fortifications : Fort Count Muravyov - Amur Vladivostok fortress , five lettered fortress batteries and Soviet battery № 198 '' Kholodilnik '' . Currently , some fortifications are abandoned , others are on the territory of the military unit .   Tourists want to visit this place to see the Soviet naval battery sample number 198 1935 years and four 130 - mm gun B - 13-3s . There are still buildings and cellars of the former fort of Major-General Count Nikolai Muravyov - Amursky . Many fortifications have long been abandoned , but some of them are now used by the military unit , which is located almost at the top of the mountain .   On the eastern slope of the hill there are many places for a picnic .   There is a spring of pure water .   Geologically the hills to the south of Vladivostok are the Sikhote-Alin .   Slopes on the mountain are used for the open championship of the Far East for downhill and cross-country .   It is also used by mountain paragliders .   So the rules are elements of air , the result of magical work on the hill Fridge is always weather changing .   Therefore , if the weather in city changes completely unexpected , for example suddenly among of the blue sky clouds are formed and it begins to rain , most likely the reason for that is in the magical effect on a hill Fridge .   Or , conversely , when the whole sky is overcast over the city , citizens can see in the sky a large circle of clear sky over the hill forts Refrigerator - It is an evidence of that at this moment being magical work is .   Entrance to the mountain , oddly enough , is under water . Every 3 years products are imported there in the event of war , then they `` close '' the entrance to this place . They say that the food will last for a whole year to feed the city of Vladivostok .   Mount Refrigerator is protected with naval vessels .

neg: Macugnaga Macugnaga ( Walser German : Z'Makana ) is a mountain village at 1327 m elevation , in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola , in the north of the Piedmont region of Italy .   It is located at the base of Monte Rosa ( 4638 m , the second-tallest mountain in Europe , along Valle Anzasca , one of the seven valleys around the mount .  The town is surrounded by high and wild peaks like P. Gnifetti 4559 m , P.Zumstein 4563 m ( 14965 ft ) , P.Dufour 4638 m ( 15211 ft ) , P.Nordend 4612 m ( 15126 ft ) , Jagerhorn 3970 m ( 13020 ft ) , Cima Jazzi 3804 m ( 12476 ft ) , Neue Weisstor 3642 m ( 11945 ft ) , Cima di Roffel 3636 m ( 11925 ft ) . In particular , the town is famous for being in front of the East Face of Monte Rosa Massif , the tallest wall in the Alps . This wall , 2600 m high and 4 km wide , is a true monument in the history of mountaineering and it is nicknamed `` The Himalayan Face of the Alps '' . Many famous climbers , like Alessandro Gogna , Kurt Diemberger , Hermann Buhl , and Patrick Gabarrou , traced important itineraries along the very dangerous and steep cliffs of the wall . Many others died trying to reach the four summits at the top of the wall : Damiano Marinelli and his three companions were swept away by a huge avalanche in 1881 . Casimiro Bich , Cristiano Sommaruga , Ettore Zapparoli , Gildo Burgener and others famous and skillful climbers lose their lives all killed by huge avalanches . Ettore Zapparoli in particular , a musician , poet , writer , died alone in 1951 , trying to win the most dangerous part of the wall , the sector under the P. Zumstein . His body was found in 2008 and buried in the mountaineering cemetery . This place , very close to the Chiesa Vecchia ( the `` Old Church '' , built in the 13th century ) , is a moving place , where a section remembers all the climbers dead on the wall .  Many monuments are present in the town : the Chiesa Vecchia and its linden also of the 13th century , the Chiesa Nuova built in 1707 , the 17th century Casa Pala .  In the town there is a museum of mountaineering and in the hamlet of Borca the Walser Museum , devoted to the local German population who colonised the valley during the Middle Ages .   The population of the area originated from the Walser , Germanic people coming from the Swiss canton Wallis .   The area gives many opportunities for skiing in winter ( a cableway brings from the central square of the town to the 3000 m ( 9800 ft ) of the Passo del Monte Moro on the border with Switzerland , and hiking and mountaineering in summer . There are a swimming pool , a tennis centre , and a football field for sport activities .  Despite its proximity to the international Milan Malpensa Airport ( 100 km , 62 miles ) , this town remains very quiet , wild and impressive for its spectacular landscape .   The village is also known for its mine ( Miniera della Guia ) .   Between 2010 and January 2011 , the Italian film-maker Cristina Comencini chose Macugnaga for making her film called Quando la notte ( in English , When the Night ) about a woman from a big city who falls in love with a local climber . She chose the place for its impressive position , in her words perfect for a movie . Some years ago the Italian soap Cento Vetrine recorded some episodes in Macugnaga .
