Mountaineering Deaths: 14 Tallest Mountains

Context

The International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation, commonly known by its French name Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme (UIAA) recognizes 14 mountains that are more than 8,000 meters (26,247 ft) in height above sea level, and are considered to be sufficiently independent from neighboring peaks. These mountains are popularly called eight-thousanders. Even though all eight-thousanders have been summited, more than 1000 people have died trying to make it to the summits of these mountains.
