2 Alps The Alps make up the largest mountain system in Europe. They are world-famous for their scenic beauty. The Alps are a region of majestic, snow-capped peaks, deep valleys, narrow lakes, and wide glaciers.

3 The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc. It lies on the border between France and Italy and rises to a height of 15,782 feet (4,810 meters). But perhaps the most famous mountain in the Alps is the spectacular Matterhorn. This jagged, horn-shaped peak near the border with Italy is located in southwestern Switzerland.

4 Himalaya The name Himalaya means home of snow in the ancient language of Sanskrit. Its a fitting name. The Himalayas are the highest mountains on Earth. Snow and ice cover this impressive mountain range all the year round.

5 The Himalayas contain nine of the worlds ten highest peaks. One of these, Mount Everest, is the highest mountain on Earth. It rises to a height of 29,035 feet (8,850 meters). The worlds second highest mountain, K2 (also called Mount Godwin Austen),is also located in the Himalayas.
