K2 8611m

K2 is the highest peak in Karakoram Range of Pakistan and the 2nd highest in the world, with an elevation of 8611m (28251ft). K2 is thought by many climbers to be the ultimate climb. The local name of K2 is Chogori, which in Balti language, means the king of mountains. K2 is situated on Pak-China border in mighty karakoram.
Its giant pyramid peak towers in isolation, 12,000 feet above the wide Concordia glacial field at the head of Baltoro Glacier. Six equally steep ridges flank the sheer icy summit; each of its faces presents a maze of precipices and overhangs. K2 was long considered unclimbable. Expeditions for K2 in 1902, 1909, 1934, 1938 and 1953 were all unsuccessful attempts. In 1954 an Italian expedition, which was led by Professor, Ardito Desio with other 12 climbers and 6 scientists, try their luck on this peak. 2 members of the expedition Lino Lacedelli and Achille Compagnoni reached the summit on 31^st July 1954, for the first time.
K2 is the only major mountain in the world, which has surveyor’s notation as its common name K2 (K stands for Karakoram and 2 means; it is the second peak of the world).
