Read Explanation:

K2 (Godwin-Austen)

  • K2 is the highest peak in the Karakoram Range and the second-highest mountain on Earth, with an elevation of 8,611 meters.

  • It is often referred to as the Savage Mountain due to the extreme difficulty of ascent and high fatality rate among climbers.

  • Geographically, it is located on the China-Pakistan border, spanning the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan-administered Kashmir and the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang, China.

  • The peak was first successfully summited on July 31, 1954, by an Italian expedition led by Ardito Desio, with climbers Lino Lacedelli and Achille Compagnoni reaching the top.

  • The Karakoram Range is part of the greater Trans-Himalayan system and contains the highest concentration of peaks over 8,000 meters in the world, including Gasherbrum and Broad Peak.
