Our virtual adventure of the #SevenSummits comes to a close as we celebrate #InternationalMountainDay. Over the last week, we have explored the highest mountain on each continent, from the towering snow-capped #MountEverest in Asia to the pyramid-shaped #PuncakJaya in Oceania. https://t.co/JTjMp7vkpL
