Junko Tabei didn't stop at Everest. In the decades that followed, she successfully climbed the highest peaks on all seven continents – an achievement known as the Seven Summits. Mountains she has scaled include Kilimanjaro, the Matterhorn and Mount McKinley. In addition to her climbing career she has also been closely involved with the Himalayas Adventure Trust, an organisation that promotes environmental conservation and awareness among Everest climbers.
