High on K2: Seracs above the Bottleneck The Bottleneck is a location along the South-East Spur (also known as Abruzzi Spur ), the most-used route to the summit of K2 , the second-highest mountain in the world, in the Karakoram , on the border of Pakistan and China .
Below is a list of peaks in the Baltoro Muztagh that exceed 7,000 meters (22,970 feet) in elevation and possess a topographic prominence of over 500 meters (1,640 feet), a commonly used criterion for considering peaks of this stature as independent.
K2, at 8,611 metres (28,251 ft) above sea level, is the second-highest mountain on Earth, after Mount Everest at 8,849 metres (29,032 ft). [5] It lies in the Karakoram range, partially in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan-administered Kashmir and partially in the China-administered Trans-Karakoram Tract in the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang.
Accordingly K2 is only in the table below for reference and not shown on the map on this page. The interactive map on this page ranks Himalayan peaks above 7,500 m (24,600 ft) and is more inclusive. A peak has a different definition to a mountain and different authorities may use different definitions of either.
For example, the world's second-highest mountain is K2 (height 8,611 m, prominence 4,017 m). While Mount Everest's South Summit (height 8,749 m, prominence 11 m [2]) is taller than K2, it is not considered an independent mountain because it is a sub-summit of the main summit (which has a height and prominence of 8,848 m).
Muztagh Tower (Urdu: مز تاغ ٹاور), also Mustagh Tower; Muztagh: icy mountain), is a mountain situated in Baltoro Muztagh, which is a segment of the Karakoram range.
