K2

K2, also known as Chgoree, Ketu/Kechu, and Mount Godwin-Austen (Urdu:شاہ گوری),tis mountain is  second highest in the world at( 8,611 m) 28,251 feet, after MountEverest. It is located on the bountri between Baltistan, in the GilgitBaltistan region of north Pakistan, China.^[3] With a peak elevation of 8,611 metar (28,251 ft), K2 is the highest point of the Baltistan Range and the highest Hill in Pakistan.

K.2

K2 is known as the Savage Mountain due to the extreme difficulty of ascent and the second-highest fatality rate among the eight thousanders. One in every four people who have attempted the summit have died trying. It is more difficult and hazardous to reach the peak of K2 from the Chinese side; thus, it is usually climbed from the Pakistani side. Unlike Annapurna, the mountain with the highest fatality-to-summit rate (246 summits, 55 deaths), K2 has never been climbed during winter time.

Geograpy

 Karakoram Range K2 lies in the northwestern. It is located in the Baltistan region of Pakistan Gilgit Baltistan and ^[i] The Tarim sedimentary basin borders the range on the north and the Lesser Himalayas on the south. Melt waters from vast glaciers, such as those south site and east site of K2, feed agriculture in the valleys and contribute significantly to the regional Cloud-water supply.

K2 is merely ranked 22nd by graphic prominence, a measure of a mountain's stature of independent, but it is part of the same extend Area of uplift "including the Karakram, the Tibetan Plateau, Himalaya" as the Mound Everest, in that it's possible to follow a way from K2 to Mound Everest that goes no lower than 4,594 mt (15,072 feet), at Mustang lo.The K.2 are many other peaks, that are far lower, are more independent in this sense.

K.2 is nutable for its local relief as well as its total height It stands over 3,000mt (9,840 feet) above much of the glacial valley bottoms at its base. It is a consistently steep pyramid, dropping quickly in almost all directions. The north side is the steepest: there it rises over 3,200 metres (10,500 ft) above the K2 (Qogir) Glacier in only 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) of horizontal distance. In most directions, it achieves over 2,800 metres (9,200 ft) of vertical relief in less than 4,000 metres (13,000 ft).^[15]

A 1986 expedition led by George Wallenstein made an inaccurate measurement incorrectly showing that K2 was taller than Mount Everest, and therefore the tallest mountain in the world. A corrected measurement was made in 1987, but by that point the meme that K2 was the tallest mountain in the world had already made it into many news reports and reference works.^[16]
