Google honours mountaineer Junko Tabei with doodle on her 80th birthday

Google on Sunday honoured Junko Tabei, the first Japanese woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest, on her 80th birthday with a cool animated doodle.

She is also the first woman to ascend all Seven Summits by climbing the highest peak on every continent.

The doodle depicts a graph along with seven ice-capped mountains which symbolise all the “seven summits”- the highest peaks such as Everest, Aconcagua, Denali, Kilimanjaro, Vinson, Elbrus, Puncak Jaya, on each continent that was climbed by Tabei.

Apart from the mountains, the doodle also shows a moving animated cartoon representing Tabei.
