Monte Rosa Massif/Highest point on Earth: 4,897 m (16,356 ft). Monte Rosa is a large massif/range of mountains in Switzerland. It is part of the Swiss Alps range. Its highest peak, Gasherbrum 2, also known as "Kangchenmo" in China, is reported to be the highest mountain outside of Asia. The summit of Monte Rosa is located within the canton of Graubünden in western Switzerland. The name "Monte Rosa" comes from the Italian for "little red one". This refers to the reddish color of some of the peaks on the northern side of the massif. The Monte Rosa Massif is made up of three main peaks called "Vuodessa", "Rosa Bianco" and "Gasherbrum II" with additional smaller peaks. The central peak is called "Vuodessa", which means "Wake Up!" in Finnish. The other two main peaks are named after people who fought against each other in order to become king of Sweden before they both died.
