Formed through tectonic movements and volcanic eruptions over millions of years, mountains are some of the most powerful and majestic sights our planet has to offer.
Whether illuminated by the last light of the sun or blazing in mid-day glory, these natural wonders hold the fascination of both shutterbugs and travellers alike. It comes as no surprise then that the G Adventures Instagram community has lots to share. Check out this collection of regrams from around the world.
Fair warning: All these images are guaranteed to make you want to get your climbing kit out.
