	List of highest mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A drawback of a prominence-based list is that it may exclude well-known or spectacular mountains that happen to be connected via a high ridge to a taller summit, like the Eiger or Nuptse.
		Most mountains in the list are located in the Himalaya and Karakoram ranges, in the border regions of India, China, Pakistan and Nepal.
		Mountains indicated to be on the Pakistan-Sinkiang border are all in the Kashmir region.

		That was before surveyors established that it was the highest mountain on Earth, a fact that came as something of a surprise—Peak XV had seemed lost in the crowd of other formidable Himalayan peaks, many of which gave the illusion of greater height.

		In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Andean peak Chimborazo was considered the highest.

		This mountain was the most distant from my home of my list of "40 highest mountains in South Wales" taken from the TACIT tables.
		The highest point is close to the road - probably a five minute jog up and back - so I was planning to approach from the north side to make it a decent hill run.
		This one didn't originally appear on the list as there is not sufficient drop in height between its summit and the slopes of Corn Du to make it qualify as a mountain in its own right - but as I needed a 40th mountain, I wasn's going to complain about such a technicality.

	2006 IUCN Red List – Frequently Asked Questions
		While the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is designed to combine both animal and plant assessments in one list, including all species assessed for the World List of Threatened Trees, many of the plant taxa previously assessed for the 1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants are not included on this Red List.
		In such cases, the Red List assessments are not directly comparable because although the taxon may have the same name, the circumscription of the taxon may be different.
		The Red List is being developed to identify reasons for change in status for all species on the list, and at some time in the future it should be possible to highlight genuine changes only.
