Vinson Massif, the highest point in Antarctica, is surprisingly 1,500 feet higher than Mount Whitney, the highest point in the United States, outside of Alaska. But despite its elevation, Vinson Massif is surprisingly easy to climb. Instead the most difficult aspect of climbing the mountain is the complicated logistics of getting to it. However, a guided expedition of the peak can run north of $50,000. Would you climb Vinson Massif? #mountains #geography #antarctica #mountaineering #stemtok
