The mountaineering term for this is "eight-thousanders". There are 14 independent mountains that qualify, all of them in Asia.

  • Everest (Chomolungma)
  • K2
  • Kangchenjunga
  • Lhotse
  • Makalu
  • Cho Oyu
  • Dhaulagiri I
  • Manaslu
  • Nanga Parbat
  • Annapurna I
  • Gasherbrum I
  • Broad Peak
  • Gasherbrum II
  • Shishapangma

A few of these have subpeaks which are also over 8000 meters. Lhotse, for example, has three distinct peaks which are over 8000 meters. Lhotse itself might be considered a "subpeak" of Everest, since its main peak is only about 600 meters higher than the "saddle" connecting it to Everest.
