K2 (also known as Savage Mountain, Mountaineer's Mountain, Mount Godwin-Austen and in Balti  Chogori (the big mountain)  is the second highest mountain on Earth, after Mount Everest With a peak elevation of 8,611 m (28,251 feet), K2 is part of the Karakoram Range and is located on the border between Baltistain   in the Gilgit Baltistan region of Pakistan and the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous country of Xinjiang, China.


It is more hazardous to reach K2 from the Chinese side; thus, it is mostly climbed from the Pakistani side.
K2 is known as the Savage Mountain due to the difficulty of ascent and the second-highest fatality rate among the "eight thousandners " for those who climb it.
