    Is the very peak of the Matterhorn in Switzerland or Italy?

    Question #121135. Asked by serpa. (Apr 18 11 11:11 AM)

    		The Matterhorn has two distinct summits, both situated on a 100-metre-long rocky ridge: the Swiss summit (4,477.5 m) on the east and the Italian summit (4,476.4 m) on the west. Their names originated from the first ascents, not for geographic reasons, as they are both located on the border.
