Deadly geography thread?

>The gas spilled over the northern lip of the lake into a valley running roughly east-west from Cha to Subum, and then rushed down two valleys branching off it to the north, displacing all the air and suffocating some 1,700 people within 25 kilometres (16 mi) of the lake, mostly rural villagers, as well as 3,500 livestock.

well, Vesuvius has a pretty impressive body count
>>
>>633102

True, but in terms of mortality rate among mountaineer deaths, nothing tops Annapurna.

>mountaineer deaths
well you didn't say that anon. you didn't say that.

>>633109

In the OP, but it can be easily assumed that (with Annapurna's reputation), it would be about mountaineering casualties.
>>
>>633117
well you know what they say about assuming,
>>
>>633119

That Annapurna is a volcano. I see how it is.
>>
>>633088

Mount Tambora has killed nearly 100k people.
>>
>>633167
OP isn't accepting volcanic disasters apparently. He's only counting people who kill themselves by dying while trying to climb up the mountain. :[
>>
>>633169
Or on descent.

Or on descent.

>>633169

Even so, Annapurna is only deadlier if you count it as deaths per each climber. Everest/K2/etc. have still killed more climbers. Also OP is a faggot.

>>633088
Olympus Mons would likely be deadlier if anyone attempted it.
>>
>>633176
If you're going with raw numbers, some years Kilimanjaro is deadlier than Everest or K2. Of course with 35,000 people giving it a go each year, you'd expect deaths from all kinds of random things beyond falls, rock slides and altitude issues.

No atmosphere to breath. You can't even take a piss unless you had a specially designed suit for that.

Mars has an atmosphere you fucking troglodyte.

>>633088

Its actually safer to play russian roulette

This

It's a very thin atmosphere but mars still has weather.
>>
>>633226
Probably not. It wouldn't be any more hazardous than going anywhere else in mars. The atmosphere is too thin for severe storms, and the slope of Olympus Mons is gentle enough that you could probably just drive most of the way to the top in a rover. The only tricky part would be landing as the air is to thin to brake with parachutes on its upper slopes.
