(CNN) Google on Sunday is honoring Junko Tabei with an animated doodle marking what would have been the Japanese mountain climber's 80th birthday.

Tabei was the first woman to summit Mt. Everest, the world's highest peak, in 1975.

Before her death in 2016, Tabei also became the first woman to conquer the "Seven Summits," the highest mountains on all seven continents.

That list includes Kilimanjaro in Africa, Denali in North America, Elbrus in Europe, Aconcagua in South America, Carstensz Pyramid in Australia (it's technically in New Guinea), Vinson in Antarctica and Everest in Asia.

Tabei is celebrated for breaking stereotypes about women, both in her culture and internationally.
