Pico Humboldt is Venezuela's second highest peak, at 4,925 metres above sea level.

It is located in the Sierra Nevada de Merida, in the Venezuelan Andes of (Mérida State).

[4] Humboldt peak also hosts the last remnant of the Tropical glacier ecosystem of the Cordillera de Merida.

This ecosystem is formed by the interconnected remaining ice substrate, proglacial lakes and glacier forefield.

As the ice substrate declines, the risk of losing these connections increases and the ecosystem is considered critically endangered (category CR) with high risk of imminent collapse, according to a recent IUCN Red List of Ecosystems assessment.
