Lhotse Mountain Fourth highest mountain peak of the world

Lhotse sits at 8516 M, making it the world ‘s fourth tallest peak. This stands at the boundary between Tibet and Nepal. Its long east-west plateau sits directly south of Mount Everest, and the South Col, a steep ridge that barely sinks below 8,000m, separates the two mountains’ summits. Lhotse has three peaks: Lhotse Central 8516 m, Lhotse Shar 8383 m and Lhotse Middle or East 8413m. Lhotse was also incorrectly known as the southern tip of the Everest massif.
