K2 8,611 m (28,251 feet), also known as Chhogori/Qogir, Ketu/Kechu,
and Mount Godwin-Austen is the second-highest mountain on Earth, after Mount
Everest. It is located on the border between Pakistan, in the Karakoram region
of Gilgit-Baltistan province, and the Tashkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of
Xinjiang, China. K2 is the highest point of the Karakoram Range and the highest
point in Pakistan.
K2 is known as the Savage Mountain due to the extreme
difficulty of ascent and the second-highest fatality rate among the eight
thousanders. For every four people who have reached the summit, one has died
trying. It is more hazardous to reach K2 from the Chinese side; thus, it is
mostly climbed from the Pakistani side. Unlike Annapurna, the mountain with the
highest fatality-to-summit rate, K2 has never been climbed in winter.
