Andes

Andes is an unbroken range of high mountains. It is a major mountain system running the length of the Pacific coast of South America extending more than 8,000 km (5,000 miles). Its continuous height is more than 10,000 feet (3,000 metres). This chain of mountains with around 150 actively volcanic mountains extend, often in double and triple chains, along the west of South America from Cape Horn to Panama, and is divided into the Southern or Chilian as far as 23½° South, the Central as far as 10° South, and the Northern to their termination. Aconcagua is its highest peak.
