Here’s a map of all the countries containing a peak higher than 5,000 meters (≈16,400 feet):

Some interesting facts to note:

All Himalayan countries are green.

Half of South America makes the list.

Most of Africa is empty, save for some scattered high peaks in the Rift Valley of East Africa.

No Oceanian countries qualify.

The only European peak that makes the list is located in Russia.
