Some of the most fascinating geological features our planet has to offer are mountains. Mountains have not only been used as playgrounds and places of worship for countless generations of mankind but are also a blatant example of the enormous changes that occur beneath the surface of our world. Anything that has endured for millennia as a mainstay for so many people and cultures deserves to be honored. Therefore, we observe International Mountain Day on December 11!

The United Nations adopted Agenda 21’s Chapter 13 on Environment and Development, “Managing Fragile Ecosystems: Sustainable Mountain Development,” in 1992, which led to the creation of International Mountain Day.
This day was a turning point in the evolution of mountains since it highlighted the significance of mountains.
2002 was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly to be the International Year of Mountains, and beginning in 2003, December 11 was designated as International Mountain Day.
