Azerbaijani mountain climber Israfil Ashurli conquered the ninth-highest peak of the world - Nanga Parbat (8125 meters). The alpinist scaled the peak without using supplementary oxygen.

Towering at a staggering 26,660 feet (8,125 meters), Nanga Parbat, Urdu for “Naked Mountain,” is the world’s ninth-highest peak, located in the Himalayan mountain system in Pakistan. However, its beauty is matched by its danger, earning it the nickname “The Killer Mountain.” The treacherous ascent features exposed ridges, demanding ice climbs, and unpredictable weather, making it a formidable challenge only for the most skilled and experienced climbers with a high tolerance for risk.
