In which mountain range is K2, the second highest peak in the world located?
The Karakoram
K2, often referred to as the "Savage Mountain" due to its difficulty to climb, is located in the Karakoram range. Its altitude is 8,611 meters. Unlike Everest, K2 has no "easy" routes and is considered by many to be the ultimate challenge for serious climbers, with a high mortality rate for those who attempt to ascend it. K2 remains less frequented than Everest, which adds to its aura of mystery and exclusivity among mountaineers.
