Karakoram in Turkish means "Black Rubble". In 1856 Capt. Montgomerie
surveyed a number of peaks in the Baltoro region of the Karakoram from a
distance of about 200km. He noted a cluster of high peaks and named them K1, K2,
K3 and soon with the prefix "K" for Karakoram.
In 1861 the area was further surveyed by Col. Godwin Austin and recognised K2 as
the highest and measured it to be 8619m only three meters more than its official
height (1988) of 8616m. Its local name is Chogori, which means Great Mountain.
Thus, K2, the second highest mountain in the world towers majestically above
Concordia with the sweeping Godwin Austin Glacier offering an ice highway
towards it. It was first climbed by Italians. The route to K2 goes through the Baltoro region of Baltistan. There are several high peaks, which are situated,
in the world's largest temperate zone glacier. Only the highest or more
prominent ones have been named or climbed. An incredible nineteen of these peaks
tower over 7600m while four of them are 8000ers.
