Aconcagua is a mountain in the Principal Cordillera of the Andes mountain range, in Mendoza Province, Argentina.

It is the highest mountain in the Americas, the highest outside Asia, and the highest in the Southern Hemisphere with a summit elevation of 6,961 metres (22,838 ft).

It lies 112 kilometres or 70 miles northwest of the provincial capital,
the city of Mendoza and close to
Argentina's border with neighbouring Chile.

Aconcagua used to be an active stratovolcano and consisted
of several volcanic complexes on the edge of a basin with a shallow sea.

Aconcagua is bounded by the Valle de las Vacas to the north and east and the Valle de los Horcones Inferior to the west and south.

The mountain and its surroundings are part of the Aconcagua Provincial Park.

The mountain has a number of glaciers. The largest glacier is the Ventisquero Horcones Inferior at about 10 km (6 mi) long.

The first recorded ascent was in 1897 by a European expedition led
by the British mountaineer Edward FitzGerald.


The mountain is one of the Seven Summits of the seven continents.
