K2 Expedition (8611m)

Overview

K2, also known as Chogori, is the world’s second-highest peak, towering at an impressive elevation of 8,611 meters. It proudly holds the title of being the highest mountain in Pakistan. Situated within the Karakoram Range, K2 straddles the border between the Baltistan region in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, and the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County in Xinjiang, China. The monumental feat of conquering K2 was achieved in 1954 by a team of 11 courageous mountaineers, supported by 500 porters and six scientists. This remarkable expedition was not without its share of challenges and heartaches, as one of the mountaineers tragically succumbed to pneumonia during a relentless 40-day storm. In the face of dwindling oxygen supplies, the final ascent was a harrowing endeavor completed by only two team members, who were forced to make an emergency descent in the cover of darkness.
