Want to see what it's like to climb to the top of the tallest mountain peaks in the world, without the risk of avalanches, rock slides and ... you know, falling?

Google Maps has just added stunning imagery taken while scaling the highest mountains across various continents, from Mt. Kilimanjaro (Africa) and Mt. Aconcagua (South America) to Mt. Elbrus (Europe) and Everest Base Camp (Asia).

The images not only capture the snowcapped scenery, but also things such as huts and mules which reside along the way. The pictures show the base camps, where climbers eat, and even cliff-side monasteries.
