Everest, from Base Camp through the corpse-strewn Death Zone (Everest: The Death Zone); climb Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak and the world's tallest volcano (Volcano Above the Clouds); climb Denali despite potential altitude sickness (Deadly Ascent); see lakes hidden in Mont Blanc's glaicers (Descent Into the Ice); and scale Antarctica's Vinson Massif with Jon Krakauer (Mountain of Ice).
