K2, 8611m

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.
