The most beautiful mountains in the world.

As you go higher up a mountain, the climate gets colder than at sea level at the same latitude. These cold conditions significantly impact mountain ecosystems, leading to different plant and animal life at varying altitudes.

Due to their challenging terrain and harsh weather, mountains are often used less for farming. Instead, they're more commonly utilized for resource extraction, like mining and logging, and for recreational activities, such as mountaineering and skiing.
